As a professionally run business, it is important for Fossflakes to create a work environment that attracts and retains motivated and skilled employees – our most valuable assets. Fortunately, we enjoy long employee tenure of 5.5 years on average and low turnover of just 8%.

As we set out to grow the business, we need to be more structured in our approach to competence development, diversity, inclusion, well-being at work, as well as health & safety.

Focus areas

• Continue the development of an inclusive and attractive workplace as we grow
• Create career options and development opportunities for employees
• Maintain the record on health & safety
• Focus on well-being

Goals for 2024

• Be well known locally as an attractive place to work
• To provide an attractive, safe and meaningful workplace for our employees – with no work-related accidents
• To be a diverse, equal opportunity employer – going an extra mile to give people outside the labour market another chance
• Ensure good opportunities for career development

Progress in 2022

• Formalised our employee competence development policy 
• Supported employee requests for leadership training and forklift training 
• Prioritised female applicants for open senior management position
• Employed 10% non-Danes and 8% with limited ability to work (‘Flexjob’ employees)
• Agreed to involve more employees in the sustainability programme
• No serious accidents - two minor incidents resulting in improved training and signage
• Two-page feature article on Fossflakes in local newspaper
