It is funded primarily by the Workers Health Centre and coordinated through regional network meetings that provide general support, advocacy, and opportunities for activism. The network maintains a website and helpline for information and referrals, and the coordinator supports members and ensures their ability to participate in campaigning for systemic change to support injured workers.

Swiss HR leaders expect their workforce to increase over the next year, and more organizations have increased recruitment budgets compared to globally.

The Network Meetings provides a place for people
to ask questions about the Workers Compensation
process. Though no-one is expected to be an
expert, It’s hoped that the latest information

have it on hand.

systemic approach to the problems facing our
members. The issue isn’t about the individual, it is
about the workers compensation system itself. A
systemic problem requires a systemic action to
