Suisse Romande 2024's Best Workplaces™ highlight the profound impact of a positive workplace culture on three key dimensions: pride among employees, talent retention and willingness to recommend the organization to others. These factors not only contribute to a positive work environment, but also serve as important indicators of an organization's overall success.
Key figures for French-speaking Switzerland
- 10,573 employees surveyed
- 60 organizations certified as Great Place To Work
- 25 organizations honored as Best Workplaces™
This year, 25 organizations in French-speaking Switzerland were recognized for their outstanding workplace culture, demonstrating a strong commitment to their employees and a positive working environment.

The importance of pride
Pride in one's workplace is a powerful motivator that has a significant impact on employee engagement and satisfaction. In the Best Workplaces™, an impressive 9 out of 10 employees say they are proud of their organization. This feeling is significantly higher than the average in Swiss organizations, where only about half of employees feel similarly. This pride results from a strong alignment between personal values and those of the organization, as well as a commitment to quality and excellence in the services or products offered.
Binding: A competitive advantage
The Best Workplaces™ also stand out when it comes to retaining talent. The data shows that two additional employees out of ten in these organizations express a desire to stay long-term compared to the average Swiss company. This improved retention not only reduces the cost of staff turnover, but also promotes a stable workforce that can contribute to the sustainable growth of the organization.
Recommendations: The power of intercession
The willingness of employees to recommend their workplace to friends and family is probably the clearest sign of a healthy corporate culture. In the Best Workplaces™, around 30 % more employees act as ambassadors for their organization compared to typical Swiss organizations. This means that they actively recommend their employer as a great place to work, which not only strengthens the organization's reputation but also helps to attract top talent.
