Ski resorts in Switzerland face a well-known but increasingly critical challenge:
The acute shortage of service staff – especially in hotels and gastronomy – is worsening before the start of the season. Austria lures with wages, free accommodation and wellness access, while in Switzerland, despite attractive salaries, hundreds of positions remain unfilled.
But there is often an overlooked factor: Mobility.
HERE the current newspaper article.
When mobility becomes an obstacle
In many mountain regions, the commute is a challenge – especially for seasonal workers who do not live nearby or could step in spontaneously. Public transport runs irregularly, night connections are missing, and owning a car is not a given for everyone – or simply too expensive.
Mobility as a key for talent acquisition
Mobé offers municipalities, businesses and their employees simple, flexible mobility solutions – from e‑car to e‑bike, bookable around the clock. The advantages:
Increase attractiveness as an employer: A company that provides mobility shows appreciation.
Greater reach in recruiting: Employees from neighboring regions or the valley floor can also conveniently reach the workplace.
Share instead of own: Environmentally friendly and efficient – also for short assignments or shift work.
Integration with community offers: Especially strong, when hotels, communities and partner solutions are combined.
An example from practice – Grand Resort Bad Ragaz
The Grand Resort Bad Ragaz offers its employees a free e-car directly on the resort-Gelände – provided by Sponti-Car (mobé). Every employee receives monthly 3 hours free use für trips in everyday life. The project not only increases employee satisfaction, but also reduces parking demand and CO₂ emissions.
Conclusion: Switzerland must catch up in mobility – not only in wages
The wages in the Swiss hospitality industry are competitive. But Mobility often decides whether a job is accepted or declined.
With solutions like mobé, municipalities and businesses can make the decisive difference.
