A barometer is carried out every year by Travail and the Bern University of Applied Sciences. For the 2025 edition, 1,422 people were questioned throughout Switzerland.

+ Is Switzerland becoming the burnout nation?

Four out of ten respondents regularly feel exhausted at the end of the working day. More than a quarter of them say they have to be contactable outside working hours, which makes it even more difficult to recover.

Around a third of those surveyed say they don't have enough time to rest. A fifth even feel it is almost impossible to reconcile their professional and private lives.

At the same time, 82.6% of those surveyed said they were satisfied with their work – a slight increase on 2024.
