Internal Swiss Post staff networks
Why are discussion and networking so important?
MOSAICO
Internal network for linguistic and cultural diversity
Worldwide, Swiss Post has over 54,000 employees from 143 nations who speak 85 different languages. The internal Swiss Post network “MOSAICO” creates awareness of the cultural and linguistic diversity at Swiss Post.
The mission
It offers staff throughout different regions and across linguistic borders an informal platform to enable networking between all units and promote the integration and development of minorities at Swiss Post. The network aims:
- to demonstrate the benefits of linguistic and cultural diversity;
- to promote openness about differences and inclusion skills among staff and management;
- to make minorities visible and to strengthen their personal and management skills for further development at Swiss Post;
- to draw up recommendations for action to help the Human Resources function management to promote cultural and linguistic diversity.
The network gives staff access to information and arranges activities such as table talks, tandems and relevant events. MOSAICO is open to all employees from linguistic and cultural minorities, as well as to anyone else who is interested.

As a core team member of RAINBOW, I expect us to establish projects and events that help keep Swiss Post up to speed on LGBTQIA+ issues. All employees should feel comfortable here! We don’t want to just engage in rainbow-washing; we want to bring about real acceptance and inclusivity.

For Swiss Post, achieving this label means receiving both a quality seal and guidance. A quality seal, because this is a clear award for what we have achieved in the LGBTQIA+ field since the RAINBOW network was created. And guidance, because the process of achieving the label revealed topics where RAINBOW and Swiss Post will continue their work.
