What our employees are saying
Marica Sokcevic
I work 80% of the time, five days a week. As a single mother, this is very convenient so that I can have time with my daughter before and after school.
Tijana Gruban
I chose Tertianum as I saw great potential for my own personal development here. My employers also recognised this potential in me and supported me to complete an MBA (FH) so that I could put into practice what I had studied. I really appreciate the human dimension and intimate atmosphere here at Tertianum Villa Böcklin. I work in close collaboration with other services and our core values of respect, responsibility and passion are at the heart of everything we do.
