Social sustainability
In the Chäserrugg area, in addition to environmental sustainability, great importance is also attached to social sustainability and this aim is taken into account with various points such as apprenticeships in four areas, flexible work planning for farmers and the training of young skiers.
Living and working together in the valley
Toggenburg Bergbahnen AG attaches great importance to long-term relationships with employees, suppliers and guests. With the jobs and a family-friendly organisational culture, the company wants to make its contribution to life and work in the valley. Many local people work in the Chäserrugg area as their main or seasonal second job. Many of them have a farm and can earn a mostly steady income throughout the year with this seasonal part-time work. As both work in the agricultural sector and in tourism are very dependent on the weather, Toggenburg Bergbahnen AG offers its employees a high degree of flexibility. At the same time, local employees bring customs and traditions into the company and are an important part of Toggenburg Bergbahnen AG's culture-orientated tourism.
Apprenticeships in the Chäserrugg area
Toggenburg Bergbahnen AG not only offers up to 250 jobs, but also provides apprenticeships in the professions themselves:
- Chef, Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training
- Specialist in Restaurant Service, Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training
- Commercial Employee (Hotel-Gastro-Tourismus (HGT)), Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training
- SeilbahnmechatronikerIn EFZ (Ropeway mechatronics technician)
In this way, the company aims to make the valley an attractive place to live and work for young people. In addition to apprenticeships, the company also supports further education programmes with the aim of encouraging employees and helping them to continuously develop together.
