Zurich/Geneva, 10 April 2024. According to the latest Candidate Pulse Study 2024 from Michael Page, 89% of job seekers in Switzerland’s professional sector are stressed by their jobs. Less than a third of employers (27%) have put in place measures to address the issue. As a result, employers are potentially missing an opportunity to attract and retain talent as well as build employee satisfaction.

The study found that two major factors caused the most job stress for employees: Lack of recognition (38%) and too much work (31%). One in five employees (20%) had left their previous jobs due to workplace stress. Another 30% advised that although they were stressed, they remained in their jobs but were open to new opportunities outside of the organization.
