This works well in the company

I applied to the Daru Guard in Basel. Here I was warmly welcomed by the branch manager. The interview was clearly structured and the recruiting process was shown to me very well. After this conversation everything was clear for me and no questions remained unanswered. Now I am employed and work in the traffic service. I hope it all goes on like this.

This could be improved

Since I've only been employed there recently, I can't say much yet. But what we have seen and experienced so far is consistently positive.

This works well in the company

I have been working in the security industry for several years and can certainly present myself as a good and loyal ex-employee. I was employed at Daru-Wache Bern for almost 4 years and witnessed the change of some colleagues and the branch manager. The operation of such a branch is probably not easy, but we have always given everything and were also praised by the boss. More and more customers came along, what more could you want? I'd work there again. But now I'm abroad.

This could be improved

Maybe the salary, the uniform in winter or the friendliness of some bitter older employees who take their problems with them to work.

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at DARU-WACHE AG. Regarding the embittered older employee. I don't think that this has anything to do with old age, but how a person personally stands by life and his environment. A certain percentage of people consider your environment to be unfriendly and unfriendly. So everyone else is to blame if something doesn't work. You can give these people a wage increase every year and they are still angry that it was not more. Unfortunately, this phenomenon can also be observed among various employees within DARU-WACHE AG. Also for younger employees. Since we are already a larger company, with several hundred employees, it cannot be completely avoided that one or the other is not completely satisfied with his life and always seeks the blame from his fellow men, the company or the superior. Perhaps we are all a little too well off that we have forgotten how to stand up for our own happiness and make sure that we are satisfied in life. The moaning and whining has become a disease of prosperity for some people. On the other hand, you also meet people who are committed and enjoy their work. It is nice to see how team spirit and camaraderie are lived at DARU-WACHE AG. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

Lucerne branch is excellently managed by a competent managing director. He takes the needs of employees and customers equally and seriously at all times. You feel valued as an employee and therefore comfortable in Lucerne. The team has grown together over the last few years and can now also meet demanding customer requirements at any time.

This could be improved

Unfortunately, planning and scheduling is no longer carried out locally, which now leads to an increase in errors, which usually have to be corrected by us employees. The administrative effort for us employees has also increased since then. As a suggestion for improvement I would like to see the previous system again, where the planning is guided and managed by a local disposition!

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased that you feel comfortable at DARU-WACHE AG and that you consider the management to be competent. It is nice to read that DARU-WACHE attaches great importance to the appreciation of its employees and that you feel that you are in good hands with the company. As far as your suggestion for improvement is concerned, I must tell you that we will not reverse the centralization of disposition - which was long overdue. For customers who operate nationally, to maintain a different pricing and different approach, depending on the DARU-WACHE branch, is an unworthy thing for a DARU-WACHE AG. A professional customer approach and uniform pricing per service is essential for a nationally active company. Otherwise, our customers get the impression that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. This does not seem to me to be a viable strategy for the future. After all, we want to be one of the leading security service providers nationally in terms of quality. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

It was a great time at the alarm center. It was perfect as a sideline housewife and mother.

This could be improved

The salary was too low compared to the responsibility etc. at that time.

Planning must be improved as before. Uniforming gray could also be modernized (we would be able to benefit in the guarding and on the precinct).

Thank you very much for your evaluation. It's nice to see that everything works perfectly at DARU-WACHE AG and that you have great and fair superiors. Yes, planning is constantly being improved. This year, we have already gone through a very nice improvement process and are now able to implement the pending customer orders promptly across all branches. In the past, this was only possible with unnecessary internal agreements. We will also continue to work on the polyvalent applicability of the individual employees in order to gain more scope for planning. There are different opinions about the uniform. This is not to be expected differently when it comes to uniforms. However, you are welcome to submit concrete suggestions to the responsible persons in order to make your wishes more concrete.

Family environment at the Daru-Wache Basel. Also ideal for employees who want flexible working hours.

Certain uniform parts could be of better quality. Emergency vehicles are partly obsolete.

Employer comment

08 October 2019

Thank you very much for your evaluation. Yes, DARU-WACHE AG offers various working time models so that flexible working hours are also possible. There will always be different opinions on your suggestion to improve your uniform. The question you have to ask yourself: Are the uniform parts practical? Because quality means that the respective requirements are met. If you ask yourself the question about uniforms, whether they meet the requirements, the answer is yes. In the case of emergency vehicles, the situation is such that we are constantly renewing our fleet. A company vehicle is normally in use for an average of approx. 4 years. I don't think we can talk about outdated vehicles there. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

It is imperative that planning be done regionally, as this is the only way to keep your finger on the pulse and respond to your employees.

Employer comment

08 October 2019

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased that you are very satisfied with your employer and that you have exciting assignments. I disagree with your suggestion for improvement and the facts confirm it. In the past, we had greater difficulty handling customer orders on a supra-regional basis. Today we are doing this much better. There were even times when Lucerne refused to send employees to Zurich for a job because they earned nothing from that job. An unacceptable attitude from the customer's point of view. The customer approach is also continuously improving. In the past, the customer received different offers and prices depending on which branch produced the documents. That this is an unacceptable situation from the customer's point of view is logical for everyone. For this reason, I am very pleased that we have achieved a significant improvement in the way we address customers by centralizing the support functions. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO
