From Home Office Day to a broad-based Work Smart initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot has happened since the first national Home Office Day in 2010 and the transfer to the Work Smart Initiative last year: Numerous new partners support the initiative, and many companies are aligning themselves with the Work Smart Charter. A variety of tools as well as events support companies and organizations in sustainably changing their own work culture in the direction of more flexibility and in benefiting from the insights of others.<\/p>\n

The Work Smart Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

In spring 2015, SBB, Swisscom, Microsoft Switzerland, Mobiliar, Swiss Post and Witzig The Office Company founded the Work Smart Initiative. By promoting flexible forms of work, the initiative aims to achieve the following goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Creating motivating framework conditions for highly qualified employees<\/li>\n
  2. Better tap the labor market for skilled workers<\/li>\n
  3. Using resources and transport infrastructures more smartly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Currently, 79 Swiss employers have signed the Work Smart Charter, committing to these three goals.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Of the approximately 4.65 million employees in the Swiss economy, 1.12 million people, or around a quarter, already work flexibly. 2.62 million employees cannot yet work flexibly due to their job, infrastructure or company regulations. So far, 79 companies have signed the Work Smart Charter, expressing their commitment to Switzerland as a flexible place to think and work.<\/p>\n
