Relocation and integration
There are currently more than 6,500 foreign enterprises operating in and from Switzerland. Almost 90% of them would decide again in favour of Switzerland if they had to make a new location decision. Many of them often send foreign managers and specialists to Switzerland for short-term temporary stays to work as expatriates. There are specialized relocation agencies, expat groups, books and websites which are designed to help these transferred employees orient themselves quickly to life in Switzerland.
