I wanted Swibeco to be a true partner of Swiss SMEs
❝ My dream, become a true friend
to companies offering the best benefits
to their employees ❞
How it all started?
« Originally, it was 10 years ago in my previous job with a consulting firm, when the Swibeco-Project was born from discussions with fellow co-workers. They were the ones who came forward with the idea of benefiting from advantages such as meal vouchers or discounts for leisure activities. At a time when salary increases were extremely limited, creative ways had to be found to reward and motivate employees. The desire to develop a tax-exempt benefits program became obvious ! »
