Black Friday and Christmas
The period between Black Friday and Christmas has yet again been demanding for Swiss Post employees. In the sorting centers and when out making deliveries, the employees have given it their all over the last few weeks, making sure that all parcels, letters, newspapers and promotional mailings were sorted and delivered to the usual standard in spite of increased volumes. Employees in the branches, logistics centers and office locations have also put in a lot of hard work for the customers. Roberto Cirillo, CEO of Swiss Post, said: “I’m proud of and impressed by all of our employees for managing this enormous amount of consignments with their tireless commitment, making sure they arrive under the Christmas tree on time. Thanks so much for making it happen!”
