Prevention, retention and fairness

At Troldtekt A/S, we believe in an open, trusting and unprejudiced dialogue based on our staff manual and policies. The point of departure is a positive view of human nature and mutual respect –regardless of sex, ability or origin. We believe that staff development will ultimately lead to company development.

Our staff is a decisive resource
At Troldtekt A/S, we want to support and show consideration to our members of staff, so that everyone has the best possible conditions and qualifications for thriving in his/her job. For this reason, we have established an introductory programme for all new members of staff – typically on-the-job training.

Representatives from both management and employee sides come together in the works committee to discuss work-related issues, policies and post-training, but also to harmonise expectations to machinery and method. Every year, we hold appraisal interviews to ensure a good working relationship and personal development. We offer flexible working hours for staff with relevant personal, family or healthrelated needs.

Diversity is second nature
We view differences in sex, age, ability and ethnic background as a strength. We believe that the diversity of backgrounds that exist among our colleagues bring valuable competencies to the company.

Approximately 30 per cent of the production staff at Troldhede are not ethnic Danes, including one team leader – several of these have celebrated their 10th and 15th anniversaries with us. Two colleagues are employed with wage subsidy and members of staff on long-term sick leave are offered a slow job return with 1-2 working hours per day.

Education develops business
Concurrently with our expanding export activity, we handle growing numbers of product variants. This makes the information flow across the three shifts increasingly complex, so we are currently introducing the intranet to facilitate the process.

To safeguard future effectiveness of the intranet, all production workers tested their knowledge of the Danish language at VUC Ringkøbing-Skjern in 2009. Consequently, 19 staff members were offered a 12-week tuition course by VUC-instructors during working hours at Troldhede. This kind of development benefits both staff and the company as a whole.
