guiding you through the maze
Belana GmbH was founded in 2012 with great enthusiasm as an owner-run company dedicated to providing a personal and comprehensive service to its customers in all HR matters.
As the CEO of Belana GmbH, Dominique Bleichenbacher’s vision is to provide individuals and companies with professional, efficient HR know-how and support plus competent services that enable organisations to be successful both locally and internationally – thanks to their motivated employees.
Everything Belana GmbH does revolves around the following principles: We want to provide you with support as a manager, team or individual. A personal relationship that is built on trust and open dialogue forms the basis of our collaboration. This relationship can always be built successfully by getting to know each company and its employees and treating them in an individual fashion. Each company has its own “personality” and internal dynamics, which are hugely important for its employees and their success. We aim to purposefully strengthen this foundation through our actions and commitment.
During my Bachelor studies at Pepperdine University in Malibu (California) I came to recognise that the targeted use of corporate governance and financial practices and the relevant tools is helpful. However, no amount of theories and applications will ever lead a company to success without its most valuable asset – its employees. Because at the end of the day, they are the ones who make a significant contribution – a fact that is all too often overlooked. It was this realisation that fuelled my interest in HR and eventually spurred me on to found Belana GmbH.
Once I had completed my MBA in Management and Human Resources Management at the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University, I returned to Switzerland. During the following eight years, I gained experience in various HR positions at international firms in the banking and FMCG sectors and got to know the workings of highly diverse corporate cultures. A short stay in Dubai was also of relevance for me in this regard.
As the CEO of Belana GmbH, my mission is to ensure that the company continues to develop and to guide clients personally through the maze of HR questions.
As an open-minded and young-at-heart HR professional, I am known for mastering difficult situations with courage and humor. I love working with people and like to contribute my solution-oriented input to HR problems.
After a basic education in business administration, I gained my first experience in HR as a recruiter. Followed by on-the-job training in HR administration and payroll, which I also concluded with a diploma. I have successfully used my knowledge and experience as an HR manager and freelance HR service provider in various companies.
I have a real need to establish good relationships at all hierarchical levels. To ensure a harmonious and effective work collaboration and to create added value, I am happy to demonstrate above-average commitment.
I am at your disposal for all inquiries related to recruiting and payroll.
From an early age, I always managed to keep an eye on the creative side of life. In my youth, I lived this through singing and music. When choosing a career, it was important to me to get to know creativity and design in other areas besides music.
I started my career with a commercial apprenticeship in the real estate sector. I was able to give free rein to my creative side and found out during my apprenticeship that administrative planning and design really suited me.
After completing my apprenticeship, I entered the financial sector and started as a Junior Office Assistant. However, as I am very interested in social and human relations, I decided to switch to Belana GmbH.
As Office Manager, I take care of the office, the team, as well as the communication and marketing of Belana GmbH.
Since my earliest childhood, I have been interested in and enthusiastic about the topics of life: Communication, understanding people and personal development.
During my professional career, I realized the importance of following your own path and positioning yourself correctly. I met people who inspired and supported me to make the necessary changes in my life path.
As an optimist and realist through and through, I have always been able to see the positive behind every event. This outlook helps me to lead a fulfilling personal and professional life.
After my studies, I worked internationally for almost twenty years in IT consulting as an analyst, project manager and consultant. I learned the importance of clarity, focus, solution and customer orientation for success. My strategic way of thinking supports me greatly in this.
I have been working in the coaching sector for 20 years and have specialized in market-oriented positioning. The realization that direction is more important than speed is usually underestimated. When it comes to the right positioning and change management, I am the right contact for you.
I support Dominique and Fabienne in the acquisition and recruitment of Belana GmbH.
As a little girl who grew up in the country, I loved getting to know new people and cultures. My open, positive and outgoing nature always made this easier for me and I quickly introduced myself to a magazine.
My main job was an apprenticeship in health insurance at a private insurance company. I was able to work in various departments and gain a lot of experience. After completing my apprenticeship, I worked in customer service and in the back office of the general agency and then moved into legal expenses insurance. There I discovered my interest in social insurance and the law and completed further training as a social insurance specialist with a federal certificate.
My goal is to make a difference in life and to do a meaningful job where I can help people to get the best out of themselves and make a positive difference together.
I support Belana GmbH as a Payroll Consultant and look forward to perhaps soon being able to actively support you too.
