Our defined values are appreciation, courage to develop, success-orientation, authenticity, taking responsibility and honesty. The values describe our behaviour towards our employees - as well as towards our stakeholders.

First and foremost our managers, but also all individual employees, exemplify these values, act accordingly and see themselves as role models for others.

The physical and mental well-being of employees and occupational safety are prioritised within the corporate framework. The focus is on fitness for work and prevention.

We take appropriate measures to protect against work-related illnesses and accidents and to protect pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Bethesda Spital AG takes precautions and measures, issues instructions and monitors compliance with them. Our employees are involved, follow the instructions and draw attention to existing hazards.

The hospital management bears overall responsibility.

We empower employees with management responsibility to adopt a participative management style within the framework of our values, our mission statement and our management principles and demand that they do so.
