EMPLOYEES
It’s the employees at New Wave Group who every day through hard work and grounded values creates
success and contributes to our work with sustainability.
SHARED VALUES
At New Wave Group, we believe it is essential that our employees share the values of the Group. We want our employees to enjoy their
work and stay for a long time. That is why we are very clear from the beginning that if a potential employee do not like or share our
values, he or she will probably not be happy working with us. We believe this is an important explanation to why many people stay for
a long time within the Group. In addition, as a growth company we continuously have to recruit employees to new position, which
means great opportunities for advancement within the Group.
DECENTRALIZED HR FUNCTION
Like all other operational work, the HR function within the Group is fully decentralized to the subsidiaries. Therefore, the HR
department, and how they work, looks a bit different between the companies. All subsidiaries have some kind of annual performance
review with feedback and discussions about development opportunities. Some subsidiaries also apply bonus systems.
INCREASED FOCUS ON EDUCATION IN CSR AND SUSTAINABILITY
In order to enable an attitude change, raise the knowledge level, and take further steps forward in how we work with CSR and sustaina-
bility, we have during the year initiated a web-based training tool. The first program, a basic education about CSR and sustainability, has
been carried out by 129 co-workers in Swedish subsidiaries. During 2018, the tool will be further implemented through translaating the
basic education on CSR and sustainability into several other languages than Swedish, as well as develop additional training programs.
