EVAM - Etablissement vaudois d'accueil des migrants

Missions

L'EVAM est l'établissement de droit public mandaté par le Canton de Vaud pour accueillir selon la loi fédérale sur l'asile (LAsi) les requérants d'asile et les personnes admises à titre provisoire, et pour délivrer l'aide d'urgence aux personnes en situation irrégulière.

Ses missions découlent de la loi sur l'aide aux requérants d'asile et à certaines catégories d'étrangers (LARA), adoptée par le Grand Conseil vaudois le 7 mars 2006. Cette loi demande notamment à l'établissement d'organiser l'accueil des mineurs non accompagnés dans un centre spécialisé.

Les requérants ayant déposé une demande d'asile en Suisse sont repartis d’une manière proportionnelle à la démographie des cantons. Dans le Canton de Vaud, certains requérants sont assistés partiellement par l’EVAM, d'autres reçoivent l'ensemble des prestations.

What works well?

I don't know, I don't work for the company despite the interview I had in March 2024.

What could be improved?

I waited 9 months for an answer and in the end it was negative. The person who took over from the person with whom I had the interview was no longer employed at levam.

What works well?

- Migrants are welcomed with dignity and with a real desire for professional integration. Many activities are offered for their well-being, and EVAM is constantly seeking to perfect the mission entrusted to it by the Canton. The creation of positions to support and assist the multidisciplinary teams and, above all, the educators, is a superb initiative in the UFM field. - The working conditions and well-being of employees are also to be highlighted. Employees must realize how lucky they are to work for EVAM. They must adopt a positive attitude and posture in order to spread it contagiously to the migrants who need it. (internal employee)

What could be improved?

There's a lot of negative talk about EVAM, but it doesn't reflect reality at all. Some employees from border countries want to reiterate the same social model as in their country of origin, without trying to understand and adapt to Swiss codes and requirements. An effort of adaptation and integration is necessary for some employees, who must first learn how to integrate in Switzerland before learning how to integrate migrants.

What works well?

There's a good atmosphere among colleagues, which creates a pleasant working environment. Job security is another positive factor.

What could be improved?

Day-to-day management. The managers of the various departments should perhaps listen a little more to the demands of their employees, in order to achieve their mission as effectively as possible. The facility seems to have difficulty anticipating problems, both for beneficiaries and employees. We only react when we're up against the wall, which is a real shame. As for IT, it's from another era. This sometimes wastes a considerable amount of time, and has repercussions on the quality of our work. Salaries should also be reassessed. Particularly those of employees who have to deal with beneficiaries whose behavior sometimes leaves something to be desired, not to mention the fact that employees sometimes have to deal with people from prison environments.

Employer comment

18 June 2024

Hello, We're delighted that your relationship with your colleagues and the resulting atmosphere are so positive, as these are key factors in well-being at work. To come back to the subject of management, flexibility is essential in a structure such as EVAM, which is particularly dependent on the various migratory crises. You mention that you need to be listened to, so we invite you to raise this with your manager or HR department. On the subject of anticipation, we invite you to play an active role in the changes you are calling for, and not to hesitate to come up with solutions to any problems you may encounter. Finally, you mention salaries, which are treated fairly according to a well-defined pay scale. Thank you for your daily involvement, and for taking the time to share your experience with us.
