    The document outlines staffing options for three Swiss businesses - an online retail shop, a boutique in Geneva, and a sustainable tourism agency. For each business, it describes higher-cost "high-skill" employees with advanced abilities and lower-cost alternatives for more basic roles. The high-skill staff include experienced remote workers, an inventory manager, full-time sales staff, consultants, professional guides, and freelance marketers. Lower-cost alternatives involve junior or part-time workers, interns, graduates, and local guides who require more training. Hourly costs for high-skill staff range from CHF 30 to CHF 150, while alternatives range from CHF 15 to CHF 50 per hour.
