Five years ago, Swiss Post set up a competence center for e-voting and cryptography in Neuchâtel. At the heart of the symbolic Hôtel des Postes, a team of experts spends every day working on codes, protocols and algorithms as part of the ongoing development of the e-voting system. Every detail in the system counts to ensure the security of online voting. And the public can visit this state-of-the-art facility for the very first time on 29 June 2024 as part of its open day to mark 175 years of Swiss Post.
Fail-safe IT solutions are vital for ensuring that Swiss Post customers receive their parcels or letters safely and on time. To this end, Swiss Post has one of the biggest IT departments in Switzerland. In order for Swiss Post to remain an attractive employer during the specialist staff shortage, the company is exploring new avenues. One of these is “workation” – remote working from a holiday destination. With this in mind, Swiss Post has carried out a six-month pilot project for IT staff.
Swiss Post elves are pleased to have been able to help Santa Claus again: from the end of November 2023, they received 32,518 letters addressed to Santa Claus from all over Switzerland. That is slightly less than in the previous year.
