This works well in the company

Branch Lucerne DARU-WACHE AG in Lucerne has developed into one of the leading security companies in recent years and is well established in the security industry. The company is excellently managed at all levels and one is promoted and challenged as an employee. The employment conditions are better than the CLA prescribes and you can earn some extra benefits.

This could be improved

In the entire field of uniforming, new and contemporary uniforms should now be introduced in the categories of guarding, law enforcement and precinct service (comparison of Lucerne police).

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased that you rank DARU-WACHE among the exemplary companies. With regard to your suggestion for improvement, I would like to point out that the whole issue of uniforms and equipment is always in flux. When new services are offered by DARU-WACHE AG, the uniform and equipment will be procured according to the latest standards and handed over to the employees. In the case of established services, regular checks are made as to whether anything needs to be changed. It may well be that new equipment will be purchased in the foreseeable future for the police station as well. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

Branch Lucerne Top security company on the Platz Lucerne with top leadership and top employees! The company is now one of the top security companies with an excellent reputation and image. At the moment, enormous investments are being made in the area of training and there are opportunities to obtain a professional certificate as well as special training in the area of personal protection.

This could be improved

The planning could still be improved. Since the centralization the proximity to the employees is no longer present. Fortunately, the managing director always takes his time and responds to concerns. He can then fix it again and again and put it in order. Big compliment to the managing director of Lucerne!

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased that you rank DARU-WACHE AG among the top security companies. Yes, we invest a lot in the training of our employees. This also includes special training, which not everyone can complete so easily. Regarding your suggestion for improvement. You are right, employee support has no longer been carried out by the dispatcher/assistant since centralization. This is also not the task of a disposition, but of the direct superior. Speak by the respective managing director. A managing director is primarily responsible for customer care and staff management. So I think it's very positive if the managing director in Lucerne also carries out the tasks for which he is responsible correctly. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

Good cohesion among the employees, helpful and friendly For me as a part-time hourly wage earner, it fits perfectly with my other job. Great that older workers get a chance.

This could be improved

Communication could be better. The information on the orders is sometimes incomplete or incorrect. GAV is very special with the expenses and travel time damages. In the case of external branch services long distances which are not correctly remunerated are very much "free time". Unfortunately, remuneration does not do justice to responsible work.

Thank you very much for your evaluation. Yes, we offer a job opportunity for every age group. Older employees also have a perspective at DARU-WACHE. Our working time models also allow us to determine the hours to be worked individually, so that most of the needs that an employee has in addition to the job are also covered. With your suggestion for improvement, you are addressing a topic that is close to everyone's heart. The CLA in the security industry, which is generally binding, is not an integral part. So are the fixed wages in the Cat. C and Kat. B is too low from my point of view. I would welcome it if these wages were increased so that the work could be paid accordingly.

I have been working in the area of district service in the Riniken branch for approx. 6 years and am very satisfied with the whole environment. The team is very friendly and helpful, the superiors are there for everyone and help.

This could be improved

The CLA for the security industry is not employee friendly. There should be a revision here.

Thank you very much for your evaluation. It is nice to read that you like the DARU-WACHE and that you have been very satisfied with the work and the environment for 6 years. I can only agree with your suggestion for improvement. The CLA for the security industry is a prime example of how not to create a CLA. The salary is in the Kat. C and Kat. B too deep. That's barely enough to live on. The categories have nothing to do with the service to be provided, but with attendance times etc. etc.. We could philosophize for hours about how to make the CLA more flexible. Unfortunately, we all have to adhere to the guidelines defined in the CLA, whether this makes sense or not.

I see improvement potential in the company, working atmosphere not optimal, Application process was io . Also the breaks are from 8 hours work with 30 min. too little, at least 45 min.

This could be improved

With hourly wage earners one should enter much more concerning desire data of those. There is no point in entering days and not taking them into account.

Employer comment

05 October 2019

Thank you very much for your evaluation. It is good if you see the potential for improvement and actively improve the working atmosphere in the team. The direct environment primarily influences the mood in the team. So I am happy when you proactively approach the possible improvements you have recognized and not how many others just complain about how bad the world is with them. I see it the same way with your suggestion for improvement. The employees who are employed on an hourly wage logically have more freedom, as they like to make their work available to the company. However, it is also important that the process for entering free requests and desired working times is adhered to by all. There is no point in informing any person in the company of this and assuming that this will be stored in the planning system in the disposition. For example, we recently had a case where an employee apparently told a manager at another branch that he was on holiday next week. When he did not appear at the scene and the employee was asked by telephone, he was in Tenerife. Of course, it doesn't work that way. So that we can respond to all the wishes of the employee as far as possible, the employee must also adhere to the defined procedures and processes. Then it works very well for everyone involved and misunderstandings can be cleared up. Armin Häfliger CEO

Thank you very much for your evaluation. I am pleased that you like DARU-WACHE AG and that you have found a good team. I agree with you on the pay side. I would also appreciate it if the Kat. C and Kat. B the GAV wages should be raised in order to also pay good wages. The topic of wages is generally a topic in the industry which would allow room for improvement. This applies to all hierarchy levels. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

Thank you very much for your evaluation. It's nice that you have a great team in Bern and the contact with each other works very well. Thank you for pointing out information when new employees join. Perhaps it would be possible to expand the employee profile in the DARU-News so that at least all employees with a superior function are introduced accordingly. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

Employer comment

02 October 2019

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased if the work is interesting for you and you appreciate the received equipment very much. DARU-WACHE invests a lot in its employees and their equipment. It is nice to read when this is appreciated and acknowledged. Your suggestions for improvement address the general challenges in the industry. The salary is regulated in the CLA. I would also very much welcome it if the lower wage bands were raised and the cat. A would be ceiling. Unfortunately, CLA negotiations are moving in a different direction. Yes, the far-sightedness of the orders would be desirable. Unfortunately, we cannot determine when, for example, a water pipe burst and the customer needs a traffic service to repair the pipe. Even burglars do not obey our instructions. This can lead to unforeseen interventions and security missions. From the employee's point of view, such flexible assignments may not always be desirable. But the security industry can only function with employees who can also carry out short-term assignments. Friendly greetings Armin Häfliger CEO

As a temporary employee good opportunity for additional income at the daru bern. The tasks are varied and the communication usually fits. Employees are greeted here personally and have a name, not like with various competitors!

This could be improved

The surveillance area should occasionally be better introduced, here is missing a line where this implements.

Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are pleased that you have found a good opportunity for yourself personally to work for DARU-WACHE as a secondary source of income. It's nice to read that you like working with us. I can well understand your suggestion for improvement. For this reason, we are also hiring new employees with management functions to instruct and monitor employees on individual assignments. So that all employees are aware of what is required of them.

The employees are all friendly and stick to each other. The company has new electric cars, which I really appreciate. Because there is also concern for the environment.

This could be improved

There could be potential for improvement in planning. Because once you work a lot and other times you have too much freedom. A balance between work and leisure would be great.

Employer comment

05 October 2019

Thank you very much for your evaluation. It is nice that you get along very well with your colleagues and that everyone helps each other. Regarding the environment. If the electric cars had even more technological range and the Total Lifetime Cost (TLC) would be as expensive as cars with combustion engines, I would like to convert the whole fleet to environmentally friendly cars. Regarding your suggestion for improvement I have to disappoint you a little bit. The workload does not cause the planning, but the customer with his estimated order. In the service industry, we have to work when the customer needs us. We cannot, as in industry, produce in stock to balance the workload. In addition, we are subject to seasonal fluctuations. In the summer we do not know how we want to carry out all orders and in the winter we have employees who cannot be employed because the customers have fewer orders. This fluctuation will not change in the foreseeable future. Armin Häfliger CEO
