Professional advice with entrepreneurial vision

From large corporations to SMEs, our vision is that all companies can benefit from the advantages of workplace social counselling.

We are committed to ensuring that the human need for an unburdened working day can be reconciled with the corporate demand for efficient, high-performing employees. The satisfaction of our customers since 1999 is proof that this works. Today, we have permanent contracts with over 200 companies to provide counselling to a total of 90,000 employees.

People come to us because they can count on the experience and determined professionalism of our counselling specialists and appreciate how we tackle problems. Managers send their employees to us because the countless comparative cases bear testament to our efficiency.

What our customers say

Gian Reto Hess, Head of Basic Education, Marti AG Zürich

I am very grateful that I can refer my students to Proitera when they are facing difficult situations. Proitera then takes over the counselling and support, allowing me to focus on the other students. I particularly appreciate that Proitera provides support at exactly the right moment and is also there for those students who are repeatedly faced with challenges. They are given the opportunity to discuss their problems openly and – depending on the situation – to find solutions.

Käthi Tanner, Head of Human Resources, Association KVA Thurgau

Staff greatly value the partnership with Proitera because it provides them with a neutral, confidential and expert point of contact in difficult situations. They receive genuine support without fear of repercussions in the workplace. Our HR managers and leaders receive professional support in preparing for difficult conversations and learn how to avoid conflicts or stress. This creates a partnership that strengthens the well-being of staff as well as the stability and health of the association.

Ursi Kälin, HR Business Partner, Bossard AG

We are convinced that our employees can only perform really well if they have no per-sonal worries. We also consider it our duty of care as an employer to offer help when we see that it is needed. In Proitera, we have found the ideal partner: the counsellors are neu-tral towards our employees and have the necessary distance from them.

Andreas Eggimann, Managing Director, Retirement and Care Home FRENKENBÜNDTEN

Proitera provides an extra layer of support for our staff. It gives them a place where they can seek confidential advice free of charge if they are facing problems in their personal or professional lives. As a company, we take our role as a caring employer very seriously, and this service fills the gaps where we lack the necessary expertise in-house. We greatly value this partnership. 

Martin Gerber, Training Supervisor/Deputy Team Leader, Fresh Cheese Production, Emmi Schweiz AG

As a training organisation, we are responsible not only for our apprentices’ professional qualifications but also for their mental wellbeing. A supportive environment where they feel listened to and supported is key to this. In situations where our role as vocational trainers reaches its limits, Proitera provides invaluable support. Through their personalised support, they take our apprentices’ concerns and fears seriously and make a crucial contribution to their stability and development. At the same time, Proitera’s support staff act as reliable sparring partners for us as vocational trainers in our day-to-day training work. Our collaboration is characterised by trust, professionalism and the shared goal of empowering young people in the long term.

Daniela Koller, HR Manager, AltersZentrum St. Martin

At the St. Martin Retirement Home, people come first. To provide our staff with professional support even in challenging life situations, Proitera’s workplace social counselling service is a valued point of contact – whether for professional, health-related or personal issues. With Proitera’s social counselling service, we have a reliable partner at our side, whose counsellors support us with great empathy, openness and professional expertise. Our staff particularly appreciate the straightforward, trusting and friendly approach, which makes it easy for them to raise even difficult issues. Alongside internal points of contact such as line managers or HR, Proitera creates an additional, independent space for discussion and support. We are grateful to be able to offer this valuable service to our staff. 

Xenia Martinelli, HR Business Partner, Senn Chemicals AG

As a modern and employee-focused employer, we take our responsibility towards our staff seriously. As part of our commitment to a healthy work-life balance, we have recently introduced an in-house social counselling service, which is designed to provide support and preventative measures in the event of personal or professional crises. We look forward to working with Proitera.

Reto Wolf, Managing Director, Stiftung Obesunne, Arlesheim

Proitera enables us to provide our staff with a neutral point of contact to which they can turn in times of stress (whether at work or in their private lives). This service is greatly appreciated and is used time and again. Overall, the company counselling service is a key component of the support we offer our staff and helps to make us an even more attractive employer. 

Stefan Küppers, CFO/COO Dosenbach-Ochsner Group

The Dosenbach-Ochsner Group strives every day to achieve the best for its customers. In doing so, the focus is always on providing advice, offering the best products and building lasting customer relationships. Direct customer contact and service are in line with our values: ‘The company must serve people’. By this we mean, firstly, the customers themselves, as described above, but also our partners and suppliers, and of course our employees. ‘Proitera’ plays a small but important role in this. We can rely on the fact that someone competent will deal with life’s difficult and challenging problems and hurdles in a trustworthy manner.

Petra Feigl, Head of HR, Migros Industrie

High-performing and healthy employees are at the heart of Migros Industrie. The social counselling provided by Proitera is a key component of our occupational health management, and we value this valuable partnership. As an external and confidential point of contact, Proitera offers our employees reliable support in difficult situations and with personal concerns. At the same time, Proitera acts as a competent sparring partner for our HR departments and managers. Particularly given the decentralised structure of Migros Industry, we value the nationwide coverage, which benefits all employees equally.

André Bischofberger, CEO Sternenhof, Basel

We want our residents, guests and tenants to feel at home with us. This is made possible by our more than 250 staff members across our various sites. Supporting them through difficult times, conflicts and challenges is a key priority for us. Sometimes this requires an outside perspective, as well as professional support and advice. Our staff greatly appreciate this – and find in Proitera a point of contact where they can receive practical support when things seem to have reached an impasse, whether in their personal, family or professional lives. We find our collaboration with Proitera to be very helpful and successful, and we are delighted to be able to offer this expert service at Sternenhof.

Mondo Medina, Senior HR Business Partner, International Olympic Committee, Lausanne

As part of our ‘Health at Work’ project, we work closely with Proitera. Their professional, personable and pragmatic approach makes a real difference to our staff and to the company. Proitera pays particular attention to our needs and adapts fully to our context. Their support, advice and measures are highly valued by everyone, as they provide a space for trust, prevention and active listening. This collaboration enables us to make concrete progress towards a healthier, more balanced and sustainable working environment. 

Monika Schudel Ottiger, HR manager, Altra

At Altra, we see challenges as a starting point for development. Since 2014, Proitera has been a key advisory service for specialist staff and managers, which is highly valued and widely used. Our collaboration has been professional and straightforward – thank you for that.
