Press release dated 10.08.2011
Around 50,000 Swiss Post employees were surveyed on their commitment, work situation and company in this year's employee survey. The scores awarded to their employer at Group level were either the same or better than the previous year. The record response rate of 76.4% supports this result. Respondents rated their commitment to Swiss Post as high. Their assessment of the corporate strategy scored much higher than in 2010.

Many Swiss Post employees are highly prepared to commit themselves fully to their work, consider their work important to the success of their unit and would still like to be working for Swiss Post in two years' time. Scoring a minimum of 85 points out of a possible 100, these three peak values from the 2011 employee survey are testimony to the overall survey results. Compared to last year's survey results, all scores were improved upon or remained the same at Group level.

Commitment remains high

Scoring 83 out of 100, employees rated their personal commitment as unwaveringly high. The "commitment" index comprises willingness to perform, identification and staff turnover. Identification with the company increased by one point to 81 compared to last year. This demonstrates that employees enjoy working for Swiss Post and believe in its products and services.

Employee satisfaction increased by one point to 75. Customer focus climbed from 78 to 79 points. In particular, more employees rated Swiss Post's good image among its customers. Among the quality factors relating to the work situation, the values of work content (81 points) and goal orientation (80 points) increased while work processes (72) and employment conditions (65) remained lower.

More confidence in management

As in the last two years, the questions on the Swiss Post strategy received medium positive scores (68 points). Nevertheless, with an increase of 4 points, the strategy was the highest climber in terms of points in this year's survey. This included employee confidence in Swiss Post management, which also rose by 4 points to 71.

The anonymized employee survey was sent to around 50,000 employees in 20 countries. At 76.4%, the response rate reached a record high (37,782 responses). The high participation rate supports the results and indicates that the employee survey is well accepted. According to the survey model, ratings between 60 and 74 points represent a medium positive evaluation, and ratings between 75 and 84 points represent a high positive evaluation. Swiss Post is now analysing the results and will use them to derive measures where necessary.
