Employee involvement in occupational health and safety

All employees of the Swiss Life Group complete mandatory online training courses consisting of text content, short videos, checklists and learning programmes on health and well-being related topics which they can use whenever and wherever is convenient. Thus employee health and prevention programmes are a central focus of the Swiss Life Group’s corporate activities. The emphasis is on preventive care. In cooperation with their social partners (based on collective bargaining agreements and, in Switzerland, on the basis of participation rights), all divisions offer services in the areas of exercise and sport, massages and therapy (e.g. physiotherapy), relaxation rooms and all types of counselling, including nutrition and social counselling. Employees can access these offerings via various communication channels, such as the intranet. In addition, managers regularly provide employees with information as part of their personnel management activities.

In addition to actively communicating occupational health and safety offerings, the divisions also maintain reporting channels through which employees can report any risks and potential breaches of laws or internal guidelines.

The absence rate is stable across the Group compared to the previous year.
