Shared conviction to take Inclusion and Diversity to the next level

According to the Swiss Skills Shortage Index 2022, Switzerland faces challenges such as a substantial skills shortage (increased by 68% in 2022) and a gender imbalance in the labour market. Here, there is a need to overcome these obstacles and broaden the perspective on diversity to include more groups and individuals in the workforce.

What unites the companies is a profound desire to promote inclusion and diversity within their organisations while also contributing to a fairer and more equitable job market. It involves challenging established norms in the Swiss labour market while addressing the need for skill supply by reaching out to the broad talent pool available.

– To achieve lasting change, many stakeholders must engage and work together. These partnerships mark the beginning of a promising journey towards a more inclusive and diverse labour market in Switzerland. What unites all the companies is their strong values and a shared commitment to being the change they wish to see. Mitt Liv looks forward to, together with our new collaborative partners, creating tangible change and inspiring other companies to follow their lead.", says Sofia Appelgren, Founder & Country Manager Switzerland, Mitt Liv.
