What is it about ?
Since a 2012 case law, companies in Switzerland must implement measures to prevent and treat PSR.
In particular, SECO recommends that companies appoint a Person of Trust.
The External Person of Trust (EPT) receives confidentially, by telephone, video or individual interview, managers and employees who request it when they feel involved in a conflict, victims of discrimination, psychological harassment, sexual harassment and/or when they are facing individual or relational difficulties impacting their well-being, integrity, quality of life and performance at work.
By listening, questioning, putting things into perspective, providing resources and seeking constructive and satisfactory solutions, the support person helps employees to make more considered and conscious choices. Depending on the need, he or she will also advise people, help them to implement their actions and/or possibly refer them to other specialists.
We offer you :
