Going beyond the job placement for disability benefit recipients in Switzerland: the cases of personal data and of social support
Using an approach rooted in pragmatic sensibilities and material consisting of interviews and direct observations, we examine the way placement professionals take into consideration components that are not specified in the legal statutory disability insurance regarding job placement, within the space of the personal interview with recipients whose health is impaired. The component considered, which go beyond the actual search for employment regarding job placement, are intended to question recipients’ private life and offer them social support to face problems they encounter. The first set of components are questioned in relation to personal data and statutory relevance and the second group are questioned as regards the desirability of having some training in social work for the professionals.
