Wake-up call: Workers want more flexibility in their jobs

Leif Agnéus is stepping down as President of swissstaffing in June 2024. Over the past six years in this role, he has further developed and promoted the Association of Swiss Recruitment Agencies with lasting effect. His successor Andreas Eichenberger was unanimously appointed as the new President of swissstaffing on June 27, 2024.

Leif Agnéus has decided to step down as President of the Association of Recruitment Agencies after six successful years. He will be handing over to Andreas Eichenberger in June 2024.

Leif Agnéus, External Relations & Public Affairs Director and former General Manager of Manpower (Schweiz) AG, further developed and promoted the Association – with a focus on the future of staffing service providers – as its President from 2018 to 2024. He understood how to communicate and conduct business across language borders within Switzerland and paid particular attention to actively representing the interests of the staff leasing sector, especially in relation to political and business bodies.

Thanks to multiple extensions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) on Staff Leasing, under his leadership swissstaffing strengthened the framework conditions for the delicate balance between making work more flexible and providing social security. QAS, the industry solution for occupational health and safety for staff leasing, was also introduced during his tenure.

"Looking back over my time as President of swissstaffing, I am proud and grateful. It was a period of challenges and successes, where we made significant progress together for employees, the economy and the sector", Leif Agnéus notes.

swissstaffing would like to sincerely thank Leif Agnéus for his exceptional dedication and his tireless commitment to both the Association and the staff leasing sector as a whole.

His wealth of experience is rounded off by many years of involvement with the swissstaffing Management Committee.

"It is important to me that we develop forward-looking solutions", Andreas Eichenberger explains. "In particular, this is about ensuring continuity, and further developing an organization that already functions extremely well. In addition, swissstaffing needs to remain able to create the ideal framework conditions for our sector against a backdrop of continually changing rules of play."
