SDV Award 2017: 2x gold and 1x silver for myCSS app
The app received the gold award in two categories – “Digital: Mobile Marketing incl. App” and “Campaigns for Financial Service Providers” – plus a silver award in the “Customer Retention Programmes” category. According to one of the jurors for the first category: “In reality, most of us already have more than enough apps. But when an app is as smart and useful as the myCSS app, it not only generates outstanding download and user numbers, it also earns gold from the jury.”
The Swiss Dialogue Marketing Association (SDV) has been presenting its awards for around 20 years in honour of campaigns that are, in the words of the association’s President, “masterful and in keeping with the times”.
myCSS app wins several gold and silver medals
The CSS Insurance app has been awarded two gold and three silver medals by a jury of experts at the “Best of Swiss Apps Awards 2016”. The app stands out due to its unique functions, clear design and intuitive handling. And is proof that CSS is playing an active role in the digitalisation of the Swiss insurance industry.
Data protection seal for Medical Advisory Service and benefits assessment of CSS Insurance
Since 2007, the Medical Advisory Service (MAS) has held the GoodPriv@cy seal of data protection, and since 2010 it has also been certified under the Ordinance on Data Protection Certification (VDSZ). Since 2018, the benefits assessment of CSS Insurance holds both certificates. The certification awarded to the MAS and the benefits assessment underscores the importance of data privacy at CSS Insurance.
The independent Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems (SQS) awards the international GoodPriv@cy certificate and reviews it annually during an audit.
The CSS as employer
CSS is once again rated an excellent employer in 2018
The employee survey rates CSS Insurance an excellent employer for the second time in a row. If at least 80% of a company’s workforce takes part in the survey and achieves an employee motivation score of at least 80%, the market research institute ValueQuest awards that company the “Excellence @ Work” award. Bruno Catellani, CEO of ValueQuest states: “No other company of this size achieved as high a score for motivation as CSS.”
CSS Insurance awarded «Fair Compensation» label
According to the Federal Office for Gender Equality, there are still great differences in pay here in Switzerland. The CSS Group has now become one of the first companies to be awarded the «Fair Compensation» certificate by the Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems (SQS), attesting to equal pay for equal work.
CSS awarded “Friendly Work Space” label
CSS once again received “Friendly Work Space” accreditation in 2019. In its report, Health Promotion Switzerland states that we have made considerable progress since first being accredited in 2013.
