The General Director of ELCA, Jean-Paul TSCHUMI, says that the company aims to recruit young and dynamic students from the best universities. ELCA’s scholarship and internship program for students has created a close cooperation with these institutions. Via this communication channel, ELCA has built a bridge for new staff, making them feel that they are joining a professional house. The employees work based on the year’s total working hours, and can flexibly balance work and private time, immediately applying their personal responsibility, thanks to which ELCA is able to offer incentives based on individual capacity and merit of each employee.
