The Project
About the project
The Best Employers 2023 is a list of 250 companies in Switzerland, who were selected due to their success as excellent employers.
The research entailed identifying over 1,500 employers with more than 200 employees in Switzerland. The list of the “Best Employers 2023” is based on a large-scale online-access panel survey, through which thousands of employees were asked for their ratings, as well as recommendations generated by the website of Handelszeitung. Across all channels, more than 200,000 ratings were included in the ranking.

Scoring
How we rank the employers
Our scoring model is based on independently collected survey data from employees in Switzerland. This data is divided into several assessment dimensions.
Score breakdown
direct score
On a scale of 0 to 10, respondents indicate how likely they are to recommend their own employer to friends or family – with 0 being the worst and 10 the best.
indirect score
Respondents indicate the industry they work in. Based on this, each respondent is shown a selection of employers who are active in the given sector. Respondents can then voluntarily recommend or advise against employers from the list.
methodology
How we work
Concept
The employee surveys conducted by Statista R are carried out independently of the potentially awarded employer brands. This reduces distortion of the results that could arise from non-anonymous surveys (e.g. social desirability in response behavior). The focus on willingness to recommend and on general questions about working conditions allows for comparability across heterogeneous sectors.
Data collection
For data collection, Statista R programs detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. Statista R works with leading online access panels worldwide to identify suitable participants. During the survey, the incoming evaluations are checked for quality & validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
Evaluation
For the evaluation, Statista R applies a scoring model that primarily relies on the direct and indirect evaluation of the respondents. This includes both the evaluation of the respondent’s own employer as well as the evaluation of other employers from the same industry.
Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer brand, the number of employees and the headquarters in the respective country are researched. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
