Social counselling
Counselling for employees
For your employer’s benefit, it is important that you can access expert assistance to help you resolve your personal situation. Benefit from advice and support from experienced human resources specialists. We are here to help you in accordance with our guiding principles:
- Confidential: everything we discuss during our consultations is kept strictly confidential.
- Professional: all our consultants are experienced experts with an outstanding level of education and training.
- Respectful: we provide a discrimination-free service.
- Fast: you will be given an appointment without delay.
- In person, on the phone or online: you can choose which form of counselling you would prefer to receive.
As an external specialist service, we advise you on behalf of your company. We are here to support you with matters relating to workplace health management. These may include matters relating to your health (resources and stresses), your personal life (life-domain balance) and/or your professional situation (internal relationships with colleagues).
Everything discussed during our consultations is treated with discretion and in complete confidence. Before we can provide our counselling service, we need your written consent that you are happy for us to talk to you about your personal affairs. We will only act if you want us to and will only get in touch with your employer or other points of contact with your prior agreement.
The duration of the counselling depends on your employer. In other words, your employer has agreed to a certain amount of time which we may dedicate to you. The time allowed can be extended by arrangement with your employer. Here, too, we guarantee absolute confidentiality and discretion. The cost of the counselling is covered by your employer.

Searching for ideal candidates
We use our skills to find and directly contact the exact types of people you wish to recruit.

Selecting candidates
When selecting candidates, we pay particular attention to relevant soft skills, such as communication and negotiation skills, empathy, an ability to cope with pressure, motivation and dedication.

Health promotion
Workplace health management
Motivated, healthy and efficient employees are the foundations of a company’s success. The objective of workplace health management (WHM) is to maintain and promote health, well-being and efficiency.
The purpose of this is to create better working conditions, optimum processes and high-performing staff. While these goals may sound ambitious, a holistic approach to WHM can yield the desired results.
From increasingly complex tasks and short deadlines to heavy workloads and the need to provide a high level of service, the demands placed on companies, managers and their employees are rising rapidly. Workplace health management (WHM) identifies solutions for dealing with this.
We help companies to strike an optimum balance between their employees’ needs, working arrangements and organisational processes.
We provide support every step of the way, from the introduction of WHM measures to their implementation and optimisation. Our services include organisation consulting, studies and analyses, workshops and coaching for companies and individuals.
We work in accordance with the Swiss quality criteria for WHM and can help you to obtain the Friendly Work Space® label.
Assessment tool
To help you appraise the quality of your WHM practices, we recommend that you log into the free assessment tool provided by Health Promotion Switzerland and complete the questionnaire provided (your data will be kept confidential and will be evaluated anonymously). At the end of the self-assessment, you will receive a report, which you can send to us to evaluate. We will then get in touch with you to discuss the current status of your WHM and to give you recommendations on what steps to take next.
Job stress analysis
Would you like to gain a better insight into the occupational health and well-being of your employees? We can provide you with professional support to help you use the Friendly Work Space Job Stress Analysis survey tool provided by Health Promotion Switzerland. Register to access the test free of charge so you can see what it involves. We would be happy to assist you in completing the survey and are here to answer any questions you may have.
Training
As a specialist consultancy, we offer training on case management, job coaching, recruitment and workplace health management. We enjoy sharing the skills we have gained over the years and we run tailored training sessions for our clients – either on their business premises or at a training centre in Switzerland.
During our interactive training sessions and workshops, we impart our knowledge and help participants to transfer the theory into practice. Participants acquire specific specialist knowledge and broaden their practical skills, capabilities and expertise.
Over the years, our work with managerial staff, employees and HR managers from a wide range of companies has given us extensive specialist and practical awareness of social issues in the workplace. And we would love to have the opportunity to share these insights with you.
Our training sessions include both theoretical and practical components and, where possible, attendees hear from a company so that they can discover exactly how they could put what they have learnt into practice.
Due to COVID-19, we are not currently running any training sessions.
