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