Reinforce your employer branding thanks to the Swiss LGBTI label


The “Swiss LGBTI label” best practice standard distinguishes organizations that rely on holistic Diversity and Inclusion Management, regardless of the size of the organization. Discover here how to obtain the Swiss LGBTI label.

The Swiss LGBTI label for large organizations and educational institutions with 250 or more employees

Successful Swiss organizations have realized one thing: holistic Diversity & Inclusion Management (DIM) brings competitive advantages in the fight for talented and highly qualified employees.

If you too would like to strengthen your employer brand, the Swiss LGBTI label could be the next step: we support organizations in establishing holistic Diversity & Inclusion Management (DIM). With it comes a culture of openness, inclusion and appreciation of the diversity and uniqueness of each individual.

Your investment

Your investment depends on how intensively your organization has already dealt with Diversity & Inclusion Management.  The basic fee for large organizations with 250 to 3999 people is CHF 4000 initially and after every 3 years (relabeling), the annual fee is CHF 1000 in years 2 and 3 . The basic fee for large organizations from 4000 people is CHF 6000 initially and thereafter 3 years each (relabeling), the annual fee is CHF 3000 in years 2 and 3.

With our quick test you can see how far your organization has come and where we can still support you in the application process. If required, we can also provide you with external advice in the form of coaching or advanced training.

Your benefits

A recent study by the Bern University of Applied Sciences shows that more and more companies are investing in diversity and inclusion. But even in large Swiss companies and organizations, Diversity and Inclusion Management is not standard practice yet. After all, two-thirds of the companies surveyed have a concept for taking the diversity of their employees into account and state that they are more successful as a result.

As you can see, the potential in Diversity & Inclusion Management is still huge. So secure your competitive advantages and apply for the Swiss LGBTI label: info@lgbti-label.ch.
