Our 360° approach

From risk analysis to claims management

Every mandate begins with careful listening and a comprehensive assessment of your situation. We map your risks, compare the market and support your decisions with a clear, structured and long-term perspective.

Our approach begins with a thorough understanding of your business, to identify vulnerabilities before they result in losses.

We then develop a risk strategy tailored to your organisation.

  • Risk analysis and mapping

    We analyse your objectives and key activities to identify potential operational, financial, cyber and liability risks.

  • Insurance coverage review

    Are current policies appropriate, do they contain unnecessary overlaps or leave gaps that could expose your business to uninsured risks?

  • Strategy and action plan

    We prioritise the identified risks and determine together which should be transferred to the insurance market, mitigated through preventive measures or consciously retained.

In our clients' words

On Assidu's recommendation, we took out insurance coverage that provided substantial compensation during the Covid-19 closure in 2020, making a decisive contribution to our company's financial stability.

Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits, a strategic advantage for your employer proposition

Occupational pensions and personal insurance are more than a cost item: properly structured, they help attract and retain talent. Working alongside your HR team, our specialists coordinate occupational pensions (BVG/LPP), mandatory accident insurance (UVG/LAA) and daily sickness allowance insurance, taking account of your employment contracts, collective labour agreements and applicable Swiss regulations.

  1. Structure your occupational pension provision: tailored pension solutions and plans for different employee categories, including supplementary and 1e plans for senior management.

  2. Coordinate occupational pensions, accident insurance and daily sickness allowance insurance to minimise material protection gaps.

  3. Create a competitive advantage with benefits beyond statutory minimum requirements.

  4. Support and inform your employees: information sessions on the Swiss pension system and help understanding their pension fund statement.

Full-insurance or semi-autonomous pension solution?

We assess their respective merits based on a rigorous analysis of costs, benefits and potential returns.
