Federal workforce: more to come for women and people with disabilities
At the end of 2020, the quotas for apprentices and university trainees and the representation of language communities among Swiss officials were within the norm
With the Personnel Management Report, the Federal Council annually provides information on developments in the personnel sector of the Federal Administration.
At its meeting on March 5, 2021, the Federal Council adopted the Personnel Management Report 2020 and forwarded it to the Management and Finance Committees of the Federal Houses.
In order to measure progress in the implementation of the personnel policy of the Federal Administration, the Executive sets a series of strategic objectives in the form of benchmarks for each legislative period.

On September 25, 2020, the Federal Council decided to focus, for the current 2020-2023 legislative term, on benchmarks for five significant areas of personnel policy: gender distribution, representation of language communities, share of people with disabilities, and share of apprentices and university trainees.
The benchmarks are presented as goal ranges and define the status to be achieved by the end of 2023.
Target values already achieved in three areas
At the end of 2020, the strategic reference values were achieved in three areas: share of apprentices, share of university trainees and representation of language communities.
For the first time, the quotas for the four national languages are included in the reference values.
The values for the gender distribution (gender distribution in general, proportion of women in the Defence sector and in the Border Guard Corps, proportion of women in the middle and upper management pay grades) and the proportion of disabled persons are still below the target range.
This is attributable to the fact that the Federal Council has raised the target value compared to the last strategic period.
Measures in these areas must be continued or strengthened in order to reach the desired values by the end of 2023.
