The Swiss HR Barometer is a joint project run by the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and University of Lucerne. It is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, and it has been gathering information on how workers in Switzerland experience their work situation since 2006. Using a representative, differentiated survey of workers in Switzerland conducted at regular intervals, fundamental aspects of organisational psychology are assessed to inform human resource policy making. In this year's survey, the main focus was on "Innovation and Failure". In addition, general trends in work attitudes and behaviors (e.g., job satisfaction, commitment) are examined.
