A few months ago, our apprentices Leoni injured her knee in a kickboxing competition – a dramatic experience for the up-and-coming talent. She’s pleased that she can rely on the electronic patient record (EPR) during treatment.

How did you get into kickboxing?

From the age of six, I could often be found at my uncle’s kickboxing school. He’s a Swiss champion several times over as well as my coach. I’ve been actively training for over five years – and up to six times a week before my injury.

What do you like about kickboxing?

The combination of technique, speed and mental strength. Every struggle is a challenge for the body, but also for the mind. You learn discipline and perseverance and to focus on the moment. Sport also gives me a strong sense of freedom and self-confidence.

Can you tell us more about the accident?

In the final minutes of the competition, I made a wrong move after a kick, fell and felt my knee crack. I wanted to carry on, but I collapsed again when I put weight on it. That’s why I went to the nearest hospital for an examination. The doctor told me that I’d need to have several checks performed. She also recommended that I open an EPR.

How did you use the EPR?

I was able to keep all documents, such as X-rays, medical reports and therapy plans, in one place. This was very helpful throughout the many stages, from hospital care to GP visits and physiotherapy. I didn’t have to bring any paper documents or remember what was said or prescribed and when.

What was the biggest advantage for you?

I was better informed about the entire treatment. In the past, I sometimes had difficulty remembering medical terms or understanding what was discovered during an examination. Now I can look it up in my record at any time.

Who would you recommend the EPR to in particular?

Anyone like me who practises a sport with a high risk of injury. But it actually makes sense for everyone, as you can store vaccinations, examinations or laboratory results in one place and access them at any time.

How are you doing today? Can you pursue your passion again?

I was diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament, so I need to take things slowly. I’ve already been able to start fitness exercises and boxing training again. The kickboxing will have to wait a little longer. But my goal is clear: I want to compete again.

In the Valais heights, Freddy Riand lives his double passion: postman for 41 years in the morning 📬, passionate winemaker in the afternoon. 🍾

His estate "Le Balcon de la Lienne" (Cave Balcon de la Lienne) produces 3000-4000 bottles per year: Pinot Noir, Fendant, Diolinoir... It doesn’t get more authentic! 🇨🇭🍷

Family project with his wife Corinne, helped by oenologist Xavier Bagnoud and the whole family during harvest. For Freddy, it is "the best moment of the year" followed of course by a memorable raclette. 🧀

Every autumn, his cellar becomes a meeting place: tasting with pumpkin soup, 9 cheeses, cold cuts, dried meat and hot chestnuts. "People want authenticity. Every single grape comes from my vineyard!" 🍇

Rooted in Ayent, his parents' native village, Freddy proves that quality and regional anchoring speak louder than size! 💪🏔️ (Photos: Florian Spring)

Project management trainee at Swiss Post by day, DJ behind the turntables by night – Pamela’s life is the perfect mix! 🎶📦 At Swiss Post, she works on innovative projects, is developing both professionally and personally, and particularly appreciates the diverse team at PostalNetwork. “The flexibility that Swiss Post offers me is a stroke of luck – it allows me to combine the two sides of my life,” she says.

As qpaem, she gets crowds dancing with urban sounds, Afrobeats and more – whether at the Urban Vibez Festival above the rooftops of Basel, at the AfroHaus event in the club Das Viertel or even in lounge bars in Ghana. 🌍 And her dream? A Boiler Room set – in the middle of the crowd, streamed live. 🎧🔥

Her highlight so far: her performance at Gurtenfestival 2025. 🌄 “The dancing crowd, the energy – pure goosebumps!”

Pamela is keeping an open mind about the future: after completing the trainee program, she’d like to stay at Swiss Post – or use her skills in music marketing. Her motto is: “Don’t stress – what’s meant for you will find you.” ✨

Pamela shows that work and hobbies don’t have to be mutually exclusive – sometimes they come together to make the perfect beat. 💕

Important alternatives remain in place: document and express consignments to the USA are still possible. Swiss Post is working on solutions to ensure goods consignments can be shipped again as soon as possible.

“As a goalie, you’re either the hero or the scapegoat.” Janine Teuscher knows exactly what she’s talking about. For her, standing in goal means enduring pressure, paying immediately for any mistake – and still getting back up, again and again. At 28, she guards the net for FC Thun Women (Women’s Super League) while also working full-time as a deputy team leader in branches around the Thun area. That everything works out is also thanks to her football-loving boss. The motto: “If you can plan it, do it!” 🙌

Football runs in Janine’s blood: her grandfather played in the national league, then became a coach and referee. Her father also played in the national league, coached by none other than Hanspeter Latour. And then came her sister – a goalkeeper in the Nationalliga A. It was through her that Janine found her place between the posts. “Being a goalie is something special. I’m the last one – every mistake gets punished instantly. You need strong mental resilience.” 🧤💥

Today, she trains four times a week, heads straight from the counter to practice, comes home late and cooks some-thing for herself – “there’s hardly time for anything besides work and football.” Will she get her coaching license one day? Maybe. “First I want to stay active, then I’ll see.”

In July, she’ll be there live at the Euros as a fan – at the Iceland-Finland match in Thun and Spain-Portugal in Bern. Her heart beats not only for Switzerland but also for England 🇬🇧 – though her favorite to win the title is Spain 🇪🇸. And Switzerland? “I hope we go really far.” For Janine, football is more than just a sport – it’s family, history, passion. And maybe one day, a new chapter on the sidelines. 🏁💫

Daniele Gasparini’s love for cycling began in early childhood, riding alongside his father on what they called “small” tours – ranging from 30 to 40 km. The highlights? A stop to admire colourful fish in a pond and a cappuccino break. What started as father-son time has since become a lifestyle. "Once you start enjoying long trips, feeling the wind as you climb and the adrenaline on descents, you're hooked," he says. 😍

Today, at 26, Daniele works as a Business Analyst at Swiss Post and often commutes 70 km a day by bike from Lugano to Bellinzona. Why? He’s preparing for his second Half Ironman and trains 7 times a week. “You need discipline, planning, and a real love for the sport,” he says. On weekends, you’ll find him racing down alpine passes or riding with friends from “Team Piantati” (Italian for “planted”, a nod to cyclists who take their time). 😉

His most loyal companion? La Bimba, his racing bike. Together, they've conquered mountain passes, circled lakes, and once descended the Gavia Pass in 5°C rain – with socks on his hands. “I forgot my gloves. The mountain hut didn’t have any… but they gave me socks.” 🧦

For Daniele, cycling is more than sport. It's meditation, community and freedom. And in a traffic-heavy city like Lugano, it’s also a practical way to move more freely. “I really enjoy commuting by bike. You notice things you’d never see while sitting in a car.” he says.

Daniele is one of many colleagues at Swiss Post participating in the Bike to Work Challenge this June – a playful push for climate-friendly commuting. By participating in the Challenge and offering various other services, e.g. discounts for public transport and e-vehicles, Swiss Post wants to motivate employees to choose a more sustainable, healthier, and practical way of getting to work. And that’s just one step towards our ambitious net zero target. 💛

Happy World Bicycle Day to everyone who chooses two wheels: for fun, fitness, or a better future. 🌍🚴‍♂️

Matteo Ritz was practically born with skates on his feet. Growing up in Visp, he discovered his love for ice hockey at a young age − first as a spectator and then taking to the rink as goalkeeper for his team. “Until I was 15, I played for the EHC Visp junior division. Then I was offered the opportunity to play for HC Lausanne, but my parents wanted me to carry on studying. So I packed up my life and went to the Sports and Study Center in Lausanne, where I lived with other young athletes.” 🥅🧳

At the same time, Matteo began a logistics apprenticeship at Swiss Post in Yverdon. “I like spending time outdoors, so working as a mail carrier was perfect for me.” Finding a balance between his gruelling professional sports training and his apprenticeship required exceptional dedication from the 27-year-old from Valais. “Without Swiss Post’s help, I would never have managed it. Especially during the championship period.” Matteo’s sporting career took off, and he ended up playing the Swiss national team U16 and U20, in the National League and in the Swiss League. 🏒📦

Over the years, Matteo changed cities and jerseys several times. “A few years ago, I realized that playing hockey at a high level still gave me the opportunity to work in parallel to ensure a stable future for myself.” So Matteo returned to his roots, once again donning his EHC Visp jersey and his yellow Swiss Post uniform. He worked first as a mail carrier and then in sales support in Visp. He now works full-time at Swiss Post, but his passion for ice hockey has never left him. “I’ve started training to become a goalkeeper coach, and I play on a team − just for fun and to spend time with friends.” 💛
