This works well in the company

To be honest, I was skeptical at first whether the promise of "People at the center" would really be lived out. Today, I can say with certainty: Yes, it is. Communication is open and on an equal footing. People are seen as a whole and not just as workers. The working atmosphere is pleasant and collegial. We look out for each other, receive a lot of trust from our superiors, and can work independently. It is precisely this trust that is appreciated and motivates us in our daily work.

This could be improved

Potential areas for improvement • Internal communication could be improved, particularly with regard to cross-departmental issues. • Processes are not always clearly defined, which can lead to uncertainty in certain situations. • Training opportunities and personal development options could be communicated more clearly. • Exchange between locations and teams could be further encouraged in order to share knowledge and experience even more effectively.

Thank you for your positive feedback, which I am very pleased to receive—that's exactly how it should be! I can well understand your suggestions for improvement. They coincide with the measures we are tackling together as a management team. For example, we have intensified the induction support for new employees and are strengthening cross-team activities to promote understanding and exchange between teams. Especially as we continue to grow, this exchange no longer happens "by the way" in everyday life. Feel free to contribute your ideas and input in the company. This is exactly how we continue to develop together – with people at the center :-) Marco Furrer, Senior Advisor and Co-owner

This works well in the company

I have already gained experience in various companies and can assess the different starting situations well. In good conscience, I can say that FOPPA is the best employer I have ever had. Basically, the eye of the beholder is well positioned, but for me it fits very well, because the working atmosphere is great, the openness of employees and superiors is given at all times. There is an open and fair communication and the door to the bosses is always open, even for topics that occupy you on a personal level and actually have nothing to do with the job. I appreciate that because I know it differently. In addition to the human and personal aspects, we are always motivated, valued and encouraged as employees. Working independently in the FOPPA team is great fun and I can take on responsibility in my area. We have access to a top modern infrastructure and stand as people with our uniqueness in the centre. So that we are well we have daily access to fresh fruits, water, mineral water, coffee and that for free. In addition, we can benefit from our in-house health management, which is good for our health by showing us in various workshops or courses how to deal with everyday problems. So I can't understand how such negative comments come about, because I can't confirm them at all. The nice thing is, I can stand behind it so firmly that I can say without further ado: if you don't believe it, come and see us. And I can and may do that as a normal employee.

This could be improved

It's nice that every opinion counts, but it also slows down everyday life.

Thank you very much for your positive comment. I am very happy that you are perceived as a person with us and that you feel well. Yes, "every opinion counts" is sometimes inefficient, it should be "sporty" in the positive sense. Marco Furrer, Managing Director and co-owner

This works well in the company

Can't answer the question because I'm not employed. Perhaps the order situation is good that the company is looking for some people.

This could be improved

After the application I was told that I would hear something from the company in a week. 3 weeks later I had no answer from the company. Find it a little strange that all good reviews are about 3 months back.

It really shouldn't happen that we don't keep our word for over two weeks. I regret that very much and would be grateful for a short message on m.furrer@foppa.ch that I can pursue this case. Reviews about 3 months back: A comment at that time went like a wave through our lounge. Many employees have been very disturbed, both by the evaluation and by the comments. Marco Furrer, Managing Director and co-owner
