Employeeship at Holmen

It is our skilled and committed employees who drive Holmen forward. The keys to successful employeeship are our core values: courage, commitment and responsibility.

Keys to employeeship

Delegate to the right level

Delegation and regular follow-up are important parts of our leadership philosophy. Successful problem-solving often comes down to delegating to the right level. Often the person working closest to the problem is the one who has the solution. A good leader has the ability to see the bigger picture and knows that a new employee needs more guidance and time before they can take responsibility.

Keep the dialogue alive

Communicate, listen and coach. Your commitment breeds commitment in others. Make targets clear and explain to your team how they are contributing to the bigger picture and work actively on follow-up.

Be transparent and open

Be generous in sharing your knowledge and transparent about the information you can share. Encourage your team to share what they know, work together and help each other out, including across function and department boundaries. 

Build your team

Forget your own ego and highlight the achievements of your employees. Motivate, inspire and celebrate your team’s successes together. Work actively on feedback and team contracts.

New at Holmen

When you join us as a new employee, we want to give you the best start we can. The groundwork is laid during the recruitment process itself, where we attempt to provide a clear picture of your new role and of us as an employer.

 

Once in post, your manager and your new colleagues will make you feel welcome. Your manager is responsible for ensuring that your introduction to your role, your team and your workplace runs as smoothly as possible.

Appraisal talks

All employees at Holmen are offered appraisal talks every year. The talk is important – for you, your manager and the company. Together we follow up on the past year, set goals and plan your development.

Employee surveys

Holmen’s employee survey gives you as an employee an opportunity to make us an even better employer. The survey monitors the key aspects of employeeship and seeks to make sure that the company is moving in the right direction and that development is progressing.
