Culture at the heart of our healthcare organisation – Morgen:Rapport
December 5, 2024
How the "Kultour Initiative" succeeds in strengthening working relationships and promoting psychological safety.
Every hospital, every nursing home and every hospital kitchen has a corporate culture. Maintaining and developing this culture is not a matter of course - but it is particularly important in challenging times like these. Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg has been regularly investing in cultural projects for around 15 years because it is convinced that it is not only worthwhile for the quality of cooperation between employees, but ultimately also for the quality of services for patients and residents.
But how do you shape working relationships? How do you work to ensure that employees feel psychologically safe in the team? What is important? Who can make what contribution? Lukas Alig, occupational and organisational psychologist and Head of Projects and Development at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg, provides an insight into the current "Kultour Initiative", whose workshops have already been attended by over 1,000 of the approximately 1,600 employees at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg in 2024.

New podcast episode tomorrow: *Morgen:Rapport* – Psycho-oncology: Because cancer affects more than just the body
The body and mind are closely linked, as is clearly demonstrated by cancer: those affected suffer from far more than just physical symptoms. Feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and a search for meaning are common themes. Psycho-oncological support can therefore provide crucial assistance to those affected – and this can also have an impact on their treatment.

Right at the heart of it, rather than just on the sidelines. The New Morning: A Report on Participation in Healthcare
Having a say or merely having a voice? Involved or simply ‘consulted’? Hardly anyone has anything against participation – especially in the healthcare sector, where, as is well known, patients take centre stage. And yet it is often difficult to truly live up to the expectation of participation. Why is that? What approaches to genuine participation exist, and what do they entail? And which successful models from abroad could inspire Switzerland, so that patient involvement becomes the norm here too?
