Everyday Heroes Association is a tribute to the retailers of Switzerland
On Monday, the Swiss Retail Association is launching the "Everyday Heroes" retail trade association. With this, the initiators want to draw attention to the importance of the retail trade, give something back to the everyday heroes on the front line and simply say thank you.
The retail trade in Switzerland has over 300,000 employees and more than 25,000 apprentices every year. This makes the retail trade the second largest sector and even the largest trainer of apprentices in Switzerland.
Long working hours and comparatively low wages are unfortunately still widespread in the retail trade. In addition, the demands on employees continue to increase and more and more tasks fall on the same number of people. Many work part-time, with irregular hours and wages with room for improvement, and often have a family to support. The pressure is increasing.
Reward for dedication and commitment
"Day after day, retailers are there for our society with their tireless efforts and commitment. That's why they are real everyday heroes for us and we say thank you," says Stefano Farro, initiator of "Alltagshelden - der Detailhandelsverband". In the newly launched association, the employees of the retail trade are at the center and are supported and accompanied from various sides.
The new platform Everyday-heroes.org is basically open to everyone and offers valuable input via news, jobs and other areas even without membership. Those who decide to become a member for 44 francs per year can benefit from various support offers and advantages from well-known partners
Open to new ideas - the voice of the members counts
The association Alltagshelden always wants to develop and improve. That is why the opinion of the members counts. Anyone who has a good idea or a suggestion for improvement can report it at any time and thus also make an important contribution to further development.
