Remuneration

Our salary concept conforms with the standard market wages. Salary calculations take account of individual aspects such as the respective employee’s professional qualifications, life and work experience as well as their work performance.

We train our employees in line with our internal training and skill-development concept. This stipulates obligatory training in the areas of social responsibility policy, anti-money laundering legislation, ISMS and data protection. Our employees also benefit from further-training programmes in the areas of staff management, customer service, first aid, fire safety and languages.

As an employer, the further professional and personal development of our employees is important to us. This is why the Grand Casino Bern also wishes to support staff with individual further-training programmes after their first year of employment.

Internal croupier training

To promote our own junior staff members, we organise training programmes for part-time or full-time croupiers at least once a year.

Interested people from all sectors and departments can change career and train as a croupier. In this profession, you will need a head for numbers as well as dexterity. Following a six-week introduction, you will already independently oversee the games of American roulette, blackjack, Texas Hold ’Em No Limit and Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em.
