BGM Monitoring in Switzerland – Where Do Companies Stand Today?

Occupational Health Management (BGM) has become established in many organisations. But how widely is BGM actually implemented in the Swiss working world? And how systematically is it applied? This is exactly where BGM Monitoring Switzerland comes into play.

The monitoring is coordinated by Gesundheitsförderung Schweiz and regularly provides reliable data on the spread, quality and development of BGM in Swiss companies. Its aim is to create transparency, make progress visible and identify areas where action is needed.

What does BGM Monitoring show?

The results clearly indicate that BGM is gaining importance, particularly in larger organisations. At the same time, the monitoring highlights significant differences depending on company size, sector and region. While many companies implement individual health-promoting measures, a systematic and strategically embedded BGM approach is often still missing. Small and medium-sized enterprises in particular face challenges such as limited resources, time constraints or unclear responsibilities.

BGM Monitoring helps make these differences visible and provides an important basis for further development and targeted support.

Why monitoring is essential for BGM

Effective BGM is not based on good intentions alone. It requires data, reflection and continuous improvement. Monitoring enables organisations to:

• assess their own situation in comparison with others

• identify strengths and areas for improvement

• further develop measures in a targeted way

• make the impact and sustainability of BGM visible

This turns BGM from a collection of individual activities into a strategic management tool.

Added value for companies and regions

At a regional level, such as in Central Switzerland, BGM Monitoring is particularly valuable. It shows where companies currently stand, where progress has already been made and where further awareness-raising or support is needed.

For the Forum BGM Zentralschweiz, the monitoring serves as an important point of orientation. It supports our goal of providing practical guidance to companies, promoting exchange of experience and embedding BGM sustainably in the world of work.

Making BGM visible and thinking ahead

BGM Monitoring Switzerland clearly demonstrates that occupational health is not a “nice-to-have”, but a key factor for performance, motivation and long-term business success. At the same time, it shows the need for clear structures, sound knowledge and the willingness to continuously develop BGM.
