Staff, our job. Every day, around 38,000 employees work for the enterprise that is Switzerland. How do we find the best peopl ... e for the most diverse tasks? What instruments do the departments and federal offices need for personnel management? Which modern forms of work can increase efficiency and promote a work/life balance?

In addition, we carry out the preparatory work for personnel-related matters that come before the Federal Council, and cultivate contacts with employee associations.
