Swiss International Air Lines is Switzerland's most attractive employer
For the first time the Randstad Award went to Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), who were named as the most attractive employer in Switzerland. After the airline, second and third place were taken by Zurich Airport and Patek Philippe. A special honor this year went to Google Switzerland for its repeated excellence in matters related to employer branding.
The fifth Randstad Award ceremony was held on April 25, 2018 in Aura in Zurich. The evening took the concept of "Commitment" as its theme. Keynote speaker Felix Plötz explained to the audience what it is that makes Generations Y and Z choose to commit to an employer in the longer term. Memory coach Gregor Staub showcased his memory methods in such an entertaining way that the results of the Employer Branding Study will not be forgotten in a hurry.
