Digital employee experience (DEX) is a central priority for technology investments.
Swisscom, TCS, and Wipro were named Leaders across all six service categories.
A Mature Approach to AI Implementation
The report highlights the notable maturity of the Swiss market. Enterprises are expanding the use of AI, including autonomous agentic systems, to enhance efficiency and decision-making. A key differentiator is the development of transparent, responsible AI frameworks that foster employee trust and embed reliability and accountability into AI systems from the outset. Uwe Ladwig, managing director at ISG, stated: “As organizations automate more processes, the challenge now is to use AI to create new ways of working that enhance both productivity and employee well-being.”
Evolving Collaboration and Digital Experience
In response to technological advances, Swiss companies are evolving their collaboration strategies. There is a marked shift from traditional service-level indicators to user experience metrics that quantify adoption, engagement, and productivity. The integration of generative AI platforms like Microsoft Copilot is accelerating this transition. Furthermore, digital employee experience has become a central priority, with providers using telemetry and AI analytics to proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact operations.
Balancing Localization with Global Platforms
Enterprises in Switzerland are successfully balancing the need for localized, compliance-driven support—adhering to strict Swiss data protection laws—with the advantages of global, AI-enabled service platforms. This includes embracing subscription-based device-as-a-service (DaaS) models for predictable costs and full lifecycle management of workplace technology.
The report underscores Switzerland's position as a advanced market, where strategic AI adoption, strong governance, and a focus on the human experience are converging to define the future of work.
