In the mandatory accident insurance for employees and job seekers, the number of accidents in 2019 increased again compared to the previous year (+ 1.5 percent). The increase is slightly greater for occupational accidents at 1.8 percent than for leisure accidents at 1.6 percent. Accidents involving job seekers, on the other hand, decreased by 6.0 percent, which can be attributed to the good economic situation in 2019 and the declining unemployment rate. All accident insurers together paid around CHF 4.9 billion in medical expenses, daily allowances or disability pensions in 2018.

The most common accidents at work

The most frequent occupational accidents are still tripping accidents. Thereby 22 % of the accidents happen without an involved object. 20 % of the occupational accidents involving slipping or sliding occur on stairs, and in 10 % a load carried by the accident victim is causally involved. In 5 % of these cases, the weather has a decisive influence. The second most frequent cause is being hit by a foreign object. In 38 percent of the cases, these are small parts such as dust, splinters, chips or even liquids. They almost always injure the eyes. In third place in terms of frequency are stabbing, cutting or scratching injuries. The victims cut or stab themselves primarily with hand tools. In most cases, the hand is affected by injuries.

Noticeable influence of the lockdown on accident occurrence

The figures already available for the first half of 2020 from the 27 accident insurers show that both occupational accidents and leisure accidents decreased during the coronavirus lockdown from March to May 2020 compared with the previous year. Recreational accidents decreased slightly more than occupational accidents. This can be explained by the fact that it was no longer possible to ski or play football from mid-March.

Current evaluations by Suva show that since July 2020, accident figures have been roughly on a par with the previous year and are even higher for individual leisure activities. So far this year, there have been significantly more accidents while cycling, gardening and hiking or walking. The first detailed analyses of the influence of Corona on accident occurrence will be available in 2022.

The last few years have shown that companies are increasingly no longer committing themselves to one sales strategy alone, but are also using other forms of integrated sales in addition to franchising in order to grow sustainably. The reasons for choosing one or the other distribution system can be complex: Either the system provider wants to grant the distribution partner more rights and freedom, or precisely not.

Opening up the content of the association beyond franchising proved to be an obvious step, as integrated distribution models have similar topics. Under the new name swiss distribution, the Franchise Association wants to start here and promote the discussion about integrated distribution systems.

Plan correctly

The choice of the right sales strategy is forward-looking for every company that wants to position its brand successfully and conquer its own market in a targeted manner. In doing so, it is advisable to prepare the sales strategy carefully and to make outlines without preconceptions. What is decisive is what the business activity envisages and not which system sounds best. swiss distribution is intended to be a contact point for entrepreneurs, sales managers and other interested persons and institutions and to inspire them. swiss distribution also wants to contribute to the training of future sales managers and is working specifically with appropriate educational institutions.

SME promotion

Starting your own business with a well-known brand has its own appeal. Swiss Distribution wants to show that it is also possible to earn money as a distributor of a well-known brand without having to think about the concept and brand positioning yourself. swiss distribution aims to strengthen entrepreneurship. Rainer Jöhl, new president of swiss distribution and CEO of RE/MAX Switzerland: "The association supports SMEs in optimizing their sales organization".

What does the new franchise association do?

swiss distribution promotes discussion among members on all issues relating to integrated distribution and, together with educational institutions, is committed to the training and continuing education of distribution experts. Topics such as sustainability in corporate management are also on swiss distribution's agenda.

In addition to the already proven team with McDonald's Suisse represented by Thomas Mosimann and RE/MAX Switzerland represented by Rainer Jöhl, the association has a strong addition to the board with Coca-Cola HBC Schweiz AG represented by Martin Kathriner, Läderach (Schweiz) AG represented by Marco Heyn, and Valora Schweiz AG represented by Pierre-André Konzelmann. Rainer Jöhl, CEO of RE/MAX Switzerland, will assume the chairmanship. The management is led by Dr. Christoph Wildhaber and now Melanie Käser together with Barbara Kehl.

The Swiss Mobile Academy has many years of expertise in the pedagogical as well as the technological field. The symbiosis of classic teaching and innovative methods such as e-learning, mobile learning, blended learning, and even the development of cutting-edge virtual reality learning content is one of the unique selling points of the education company. Analyses have now shown that the Swiss Mobile Academy was mainly associated with mobile learning. In order to correct this only partially correct image, the name, the appearance, the brand core and the company orientation have been revised: The new name is Swiss Connect Academy (SCA).

Sharpening of the brand essence and corporate orientation

SCA's overarching mission is that education is always connected to a joyful experience. SCA supports people's instinct to pursue new things in life and enjoy learning. With the new direction it has taken, SCA is raising its profile and bringing solutions to a widespread continuing education problem. Linda Zolliker, Deputy Manager of SCA, explains, "More and more professionals are struggling when faced with an educational or academic challenge, as they often find it difficult to muster motivation to learn, stay focused and enjoy the learning journey." The SCA aims to eliminate these problems by connecting leaders of today and tomorrow and making learning a joyful experience.

Achieving goals through innovative methods and new offerings

Linda Zolliker explains the strategy SCA uses to achieve its goals as follows: "We work with what we call the 2 Forces Method. We combine high-quality pedagogy with our strength in the technological field." The broad pedagogical offering, which combines both classic learning methods and innovative approaches, thus forms the basis for efficient learning. SCA's academic content is underpinned by homegrown technology - called Connect. The in-house technology also enables social exchange between learners and trainers, allowing for a completely new learning experience. This symbiosis increases the motivation and enjoyment of learning, which has a positive impact on learning outcomes.

New appearance as Swiss Connect Academy

In addition to the strategic measures, the new brand identity also entails a change of name, the adaptation of the logo and the revision of the visual appearance (corporate design). The ownership structure, the products and services offered and the legal form remain unchanged.

Switzerland functions more as a nation of purpose than of will: With this often quoted thesis, SKO Managing Director Jürg Eggenberger introduced the Feierabend event at the SIX Convention Point in Zurich. Often, the four national languages in Switzerland are perceived more side by side than together. Is this really the case? And to what extent is Switzerland's cultural and linguistic diversity also a management issue in companies?

Learning languages to get ahead economically

The four talk guests - interviewed by Stefan Barmettler, editor-in-chief of the Handelszeitung - answered these questions one after the other. Former German Chancellor Corina Casanova, who grew up in the Rhaeto-Romanic-speaking Lower Engadin, shared, among other things, her experience of how she had to learn German very quickly after her mother tongue. "We have to learn other languages to get ahead economically," Casanova said. She sees linguistic and cultural diversity as the cement of our society and appeals to managers to be aware of other languages and to be open to other cultures.

Putting linguistic diversity into practice

Virginie Borel, head of Forum Bilingualism from Biel, Switzerland's only officially bilingual city, also encouraged managers to be more aware of employees' language skills. "It is better to communicate with errors in a foreign language than to remain silent without errors," was her appeal to the audience. One's own language competence is too often underestimated.

Something that Antoinette Hunziker-Ebneter, CEO Forma Futura Invest AG and Chairman of the Board of Berner Kantonalbank BEKB, was also able to emphasize. Bilingualism (German and French) is central there. It pains her every time bankers from Zurich and bankers from Geneva end up talking in English, she admitted.

SRG as the linguistic image of Switzerland?

Finally, Bakel Walden, Director of Development and Offerings at SRG, reported on how Swiss radio and television fulfills its mandate to cover all national languages with broadcasts. Linguistic diversity at SRG is becoming increasingly important, Walden said. So to speak, the former SRG claim "idée suisse" is to be taken quite literally. With the "Play Suisse" project, a streaming platform to be launched in November 2020, the aim is to achieve more exchange between the language regions. Thanks to advanced digital technology, foreign-language programs will be available with subtitles.

Languages as an integrating element - and an educational mission

In the panel discussion that followed, the importance of our multilingualism was emphasized once again. "Migrants have shown us how to adapt quickly," said Virginie Borel. SMEs could also make much better use of the language potential of migrants, she added. Bakel Walden, on the other hand, notes that among the younger generation, English language competence is higher than that for another national language. Perhaps more countermeasures should be taken in this regard. A task for the education system, as was also evident from a few audience votes: Why not increase the exchange of students and teachers between the language regions?

The conference motto "Safe in uncertain times" has taken on a completely different meaning this year. Therefore, the EXPERTsuisse Annual Conference 2020 was held for the first time as a hybrid event on September 15: In the Kursaal in Bern, 300 guests followed the event on site while adhering to strict security measures, supplemented by 300 guests, members of EXPERTsuisse, politicians and journalists who followed the event online.

Ahead of the EXPERTsuisse Annual Conference 2020: Instead of short-time work, long working days in many places

Peter Ritter, President of EXPERTsuisse, welcomed the more than 600 participants with a big thank you for the large amount of extra work done in many places by the association's approximately 10,000 auditors and tax and fiduciary experts throughout Switzerland over the past six months. "Instead of short-time work in many places, long working days" had characterized the work in support of clients. As a result, fiduciaries, tax advisors and auditors have been very much at the forefront of supporting the new and previously unknown situation for the Swiss economy. "We are all challenged to find new solutions in a changed environment," said Peter Ritter. Member of the Council of States Erich Ettlin pointed out in his remarks on current affairs from the federal government that EXPERTsuisse has been helpfully involved in the political discussions on new framework conditions to deal with the COVID19 crisis.

The trust "Triple A" - Audit, Assurance, Advisory

"In uncertain times, it is a matter of offering our clients, the economy and society as much security as possible," also said Marius Klauser, Director and CEO of EXPERTsuisse. To this end, the trust services provided by EXPERTsuisse members - Audit, Assurance, Advisory - are particularly important. This so-called "Triple A" creates trust and trust moves markets, companies and people. This is particularly relevant in uncertain times. With the campaign www.confidence.swiss, the industry association would like to bring these topics closer to an interested public and in particular also to politicians, journalists and other stakeholders.

Human risk factor

The external presentations were kicked off by Solange Ghernaouti, Professor and Director of the Swiss Cybersecurity Advisory & Research Group HEC - UNIL and Ivano Somaini, Social Engineer and Cyber Security Expert. They explored the question of which cyber risks are most relevant to the practice of companies in Switzerland, and how business can better protect itself. The criminal forces, some of which are very well organized, target a very specific weak point - people. A risk factor that also represents one of the greatest uncertainties in the daily work of auditors and tax and fiduciary experts.

Effective overall governance

As part of overall governance, the risk situation must be adequately assessed and compliance ensured through appropriate measures. In effective overall governance, internal lines of defense are of great importance before complementary mechanisms such as special authorities, auditors and regulators can play their part in overall governance. This was also made clear in the panel discussion, which included Monika Rühl (Chair of the Executive Board of economiesuisse), Victor Balli (Board of Directors of the FAOA) and Martin Nay (Division President Audit of EXPERTsuisse). In this context, the need for a clarification of the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance was also discussed. A corporate objective must be the protection of material tangible & intangible assets. However, practice shows that the potential of a corporate implemented Internal Control System (ICS) is still underestimated.

Inspire women to take up exciting careers

Afterwards, Ruth Metzler, former Federal Councillor, president or member of boards of directors & foundations as well as patron of the "EXPERTsuisse FrauenNetz" and Bernadette Koch, certified public accountant, multi-board member and initiator of the "EXPERTsuisse FrauenNetz" gave insights into the important topic of promoting young talent and women. The main focus was on the issue of promoting the training of women in the auditing, tax consulting and fiduciary professions, and how to attract the right talent to the exciting professions and enable attractive careers.

Conclusion of the EXPERTsuisse Annual Conference 2020: People are not only a risk

In uncertain times, the ability to plan continues to decline and the importance of experimentation increases. Gerhard Fehr, CEO of FehrAdvice & Partners, demonstrated in a scientifically sound and practically proven manner how the formation and testing of hypotheses in an entrepreneurial context leads to knowledge gain and continuous learning. In his closing remarks, Marius Klauser, Director of EXPERTsuisse, pointed out how important alliances and cooperations are when experimenting in uncertain times and how EXPERTsuisse has positioned and networked itself in this regard - for example with the alliance denkplatz schweiz, which was launched in 2016, and the newly launched alliance e-tax schweiz.

As a conclusion of the various presentations and panel discussions at the EXPERTsuisse Annual Conference, there is a consensus that the human being at the center of all economic activity is both the greatest risk factor and will probably remain so, but it is also only the human being who can satisfy transparency needs and thereby build trust.

If you want to reach the future, you need new ideas. Other ideas. Better ideas. Bold ideas. Ideas that no one has had before. This is where lateral thinkers come into play. They are mediators between outdated practices and new approaches, pilots into a new era. They shake things up, make things different, and bring things forward. They provide a breath of fresh air and drive important initiatives forward with a high level of commitment because they really care about the progress of their employer. Yet in many organizations, lateral thinkers are considered annoying and undesirable. This is dangerous. Where lateral thinkers are not allowed to become truly active, inertial tendencies increase. Stagnation, irrelevance and decline are the result. In contrast, the management thinker and multiple award-winning bestselling author Anne M. Schüller shows in her new book in a trenchant and practical way how the leap into the future actually succeeds with the help of good lateral thinkers.

Companies need lateral thinkers more urgently than ever before. Why is that? We're in the midst of the biggest change process ever. All over the world, visionaries are redefining what is possible. Only the nimble, smart, innovative market players with bold, unconventional, market-relevant ideas will survive. Excellent lateral thinkers, sometimes called organizational rebels, are thus strategically critical. This makes a strong lateral thinking culture essential. The crucial questions: In what kind of organization can this succeed? What tools are needed for this? How can you make yourself attractive to lateral thinkers? Where and how can lateral thinkers be deployed in order to move from thinking to action? What should you do to avoid driving away the good lateral thinkers you have? How can a lateral thinker stage his ideas so that they become acceptable? And what should even the most passionate lateral thinker stay away from? This book has the right answers at the ready: both for those responsible in companies and for the lateral thinkers themselves.

The first of its kind, a new map, provided by International SOS, brings together information and analysis on business-critical indicators affected by COVID-19.
The COVID-19 Impact Map is publicly available. It complements the International SOS Risk Map, which already covers health, safety, including road safety. The COVID-19 Impact Map data is updated daily. An overall value is provided for each country. It should be noted, however, that the impact of COVID-19 can be very different in individual locations of a country, so there can be differences, for example, between cantons, municipalities or cities.

COVID-19 impacts mapped.

The following factors are decisive for the analysis of the data on which the map is based:

• COVID-19 case counts on a 14-day moving average;
• the health and safety risk environment;
• Travel restrictions in the respective domestic country as well as restrictions for foreign travel;
• existing measures against COVID-19 and their effectiveness.

Cédric Fraissinet, Managing Director Switzerland and Italy at International SOS, explains: " We now realize that today, for all organizations, the health of their employees is a strategic priority. Recovering and accelerating business in the current context, which is still very uncertain, is not possible without access to reliable information. With our COVID-19 Impact Map, we help our clients to provide their local action plans and global strategy with concrete information updated in real time. This enables them to minimize the impact of the pandemic on their teams and business operations."

A variety of risks

"In addition to COVID-19, companies also need to be aware of what we call second- and third-degree health and safety risks," adds Gautier Porot, Security Director at International SOS. "There will also continue to be natural disasters, political tensions, elections and civil unrest, and the pandemic will exacerbate some of these events. A holistic approach is essential to assess all risks and implement appropriate strategies. This is to protect the company and its employees, but also to ensure business continuity and therefore resilience of the company and their teams."

On this basis, International SOS has classified Switzerland with the status "Low". The parameter takes into account the dynamics of the epidemic in the respective country. As of today, economic activity is possible with slight restrictions. Most companies in various sectors are active as before.

Exclusively for customers

In addition to the COVID-19 Impact Map ratings, International SOS provides detailed logistical information exclusively for customers on inbound travel to specific countries and regions (Inbound Travel Impact Scales). These include information on air traffic restrictions and entry requirements. Likewise, customers gain access to the variables behind the COVID-19 Impact Map and recommendations from experts to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on business operations.

The COVID-19 impact map is part of the services provided by International SOS. These include: Comprehensive management information and tools, as well as consulting services to ensure employee protection and health and safety support for traveling and local employees worldwide.

The map with the COVID-19 impacts is viewable here.

The anniversary edition of the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award was also broadcast live for the first time. The award for the best startups in Switzerland was held in collaboration with presenting partners Credit Suisse, SVC, Swiss Prime Site, SECA and digitalswitzerland.

Ten years of TOP 100 Swiss Startups

Within a decade, the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award has become a reference event in the Swiss startup ecosystem. The award show brings together the most promising Swiss startup CEOs with Swiss and international investors, executives and journalists. What started with an initial publication of the ranking in 2011 has evolved into a comprehensive collection of events and activities, including an Award Night, the Investor Summit, where hand-picked TOP 100 startups can pitch to selected Swiss and international investors, regional pitch events organized together with presenting partner Credit Suisse, and the Scale-up Ranking. The Swiss startup magazine "TOP 100" reports on all these events and news with editorial content in German, French, English and Chinese.

The 100 best startups: Enormous potential

The potential of TOP 100 nominees was illustrated by the evening's keynote - featuring the founders of Climeworks (ranked 11th in the first TOP 100 edition 10 years ago), which just closed a CHF 100 million investment round to accelerate the fight against climate change, and AMAL Therapeutics, the largest European biotech startup exit in 2019. "Such role models show that we are well prepared and can look forward with anticipation to see how TOP 100 startups will shape the next decade," said Stefan Steiner, co-managing director of Venturelab and TOP 100 director. "The quality of Swiss startups is evidenced by the fact that funding continues at a similar level as in the record year of 2019."

Three female founders among the TOP 3 Swiss startups

Cutiss, Wingtra and Piavita took home the top prizes. All three companies were among the 10 most promising Swiss startups in 2019.

The Zurich-based startup was ranked 8th in the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Awards in 2019.
• Winner of the TOP 100 public vote: The TOP 100 public vote, which runs parallel to the expert ranking, was the audience's chance to highlight a promising Swiss startup. The winner of this year's public vote is Authena (formerly Acatena), a Zug-based company whose patented technology allows products to be traced from location to consumer, helping to prevent counterfeiting and fraud.

The list with all 100 startups can be found here.

Startups create jobs

The 100 best startups in Switzerland that were nominated this year represented the tip of an iceberg, as it were: To date, a total of 435 startups have received the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award. Cumulatively, they have raised more than 5.4 billion Swiss francs. 47 startups were acquired and three went public (IPOs). The TOP 100 Startups represent more than 9,553 active jobs. And the proportion of women is also growing: 85 women currently hold management positions in the TOP 100 Startups 2020, including 24 co-founders.
