In an article published in CH Mediaexternal link and confirmed by Swiss news agency Keystone-SDA, SUVA notes that the measure is a digitization project and not a savings programme. This is shown by the fact that new jobs are being created in “promising areas”, especially in the area of data processing.
According to the article, the personnel changes affect the headquarters in Lucerne as well as branches around the country.
Established in 1918, SUVA initially focused on occupational accidents and diseases. Later, it added risk prevention and accident rehabilitation to its offer.
