The website work.swissis getting an overhaul from mid-May 2026. The portal for the Unemployment Insurance and public employment service is being migrated to a new content management system. At the same time, the portal’s design, content, structure and user navigation are being optimised.
Background
The work.swiss portal is currently built on a CMS that will only be operated until June 2026. Migration to a new CMS is therefore absolutely essential.
The federal government is also standardising its websites and work.swiss will in future be built on the centrally-provided CMS Livingdocs. work.swiss will remain a standalone website, however.
What will be optimised in the new website?
The aims of the new work.swiss site:
- clear and readily understandable information structure
- intuitive user experience with clear next steps
- key content and services can be quickly accessed in a few clicks
- efficient creation and management of content
- better findability in search engines
- optimised mobile use
- enhanced accessibility
What does this mean for you?
For users of work.swiss:
- faster access to information and services
- easy navigation on the website
For cantons and implementing agencies:
- existing links to work.swiss need to be checked and in some cases adapted
What next?
- The new work.swiss website is due to launch in mid-May 2026.
- Further information and specific instructions will be added to this page on an ongoing basis.
