Well-being and loyalty

Well-being and loyalty remain at a high level in BIRN Group

The BIRN Group has conducted the annual satisfaction survey among the Group’s more than 700 employees. The results show that both job satisfaction and loyalty remain at a high level and above the benchmark for comparable companies.

BIRN Group employees gave a score of 75 in job satisfaction and 81 in loyalty, which is on par with previous years. At the same time, the response rate remains high, with 89 per cent at group level. The survey was conducted by the research agency Ennova and provides a solid basis for further work on well-being across the Group.

The survey shows that employee loyalty to BIRN Group remains high, and that the desire to recommend the Group as a workplace is increasing. 44 per cent of employees state that they would highly recommend others to apply for a job at the BIRN Group. It emphasises a general pride in the workplace as well as enthusiasm for the company and the tasks that are being performed.

Strong results in safety and management
Safety remains one of the areas where BIRN Group is strong. The area ranks among the highest scoring in the survey across the Group, which shows that employees experience safety as being prioritised and taken seriously in their day-to-day work. At the same time, there is a positive development in the assessment of the overall management, with more employees experiencing a clearer direction and confidence in the decisions made.

A number of employee-oriented initiatives within health and safety are also being worked on across the Group. The initiatives support a general focus on employee well-being and long-term attachment to the workplace.

Collaboration, values and follow-up
The survey also points to a number of areas that need to be worked on in the future. Collaboration remains at a high level, but has decreased slightly compared to the previous year, especially in relation to knowledge-sharing and collaboration across the organisation. In addition, there must be further focus on how the Group’s values can be better experienced and lived in day-to-day work.

Based on the survey, concrete action plans are being worked on across the entire Group. There is an increased focus on managerial follow-up and involvement of employees, union representatives and the health and safety organisation. Well-being is regarded as a shared responsibility, and the work of maintaining and developing a good working environment is an integral part of BIRN Group’s day-to-day operations.
