Safety and well-being are most important

We are proud of our committed and competent employees who make our success journey possible. Our culture, created by us together, is permeated by our core values ​​Competence, Efficiency, Personal and Safety and together we deliver services and machines to customers around the country every day.

Well-being

We want our employees to enjoy and feel good at work and we work hard to achieve this, which often means that we go much further than what the legislation requires of us.

• Over the years, our staff turnover has been below 10%.
• Secure employment is an obvious part of this work.
• 88% of the employees are permanently employed.

Good health

Feeling good is a prerequisite for doing a good job. A few years ago, we launched "With light steps" - a program with a series of health-oriented measures and with the goal that more employees will use their wellness allowance.In 2022, 36% of employees used their wellness allowance. The goal is at least 40%.

But it's not just about physical health, mental well-being must also be in balance. We know that ill health is increasing in society, and for us it is important to discover and deploy resources if we see that someone is unwell. As a preventive measure, we are now training all managers and safety representatives in the organizational and social work environment.

Sick leave

Historically, our sick leave has been between 2-3%, which is low. As the company has grown, sickness absence has also increased. We have chosen to report all sickness absence, without excluding long-term sick leave. Our goal is to be at 3.5%. 

In 2022, our sick leave rate was 5%, which is a decrease from 6.8% in 2016.

Safe workplaces are essential

Through our internal system for incident and accident reporting, we capture new or old situations that could involve risks at work. Our employees know the importance of always reporting all types of incidents, regardless of whether they are small or large, and in this way a basis is created that enables us to take preventive measures and improvements where necessary. In order to simplify the reporting of incidents and achieve our goal that incident reporting should take place even more frequently, we have launched an app where the employees can, with a few simple steps, tell about situations that are perceived as safety risks at work. It helps us to create even safer workplaces.

• Since 2017, we have doubled the number of incidents reported per employee.

Our employee representative for occupational safety have an important and obvious role in our security work. They are the link between employees and the company and we encourage an active dialogue both between the occupational safety representatives and with managers.

Zero tolerance to alcohol and drugs

We have a clear alcohol and drug policy and our managers are trained to be able to identify and deal with this type of problem. Unfortunately, the use of drugs is increasing in society at large and this is reflected in working life. It is our policy that all new employees with us must undergo a drug test before employment.

• A few years ago, we also introduced random drug tests. Approximately 30% of employees are tested continuously during the year. This is an initiative that has been met with a positive response from both employees and customers.

Professional development at work

Being a truly sustainable employer also includes being able to offer career development opportunities for employees.

• Therefore, all employees have their own training plan, and we work actively to capture employees who want to develop in their roles.

• A challenge for our industry is definitely the future supply of skills. Fewer and fewer young people are applying for jobs in the industrial sector, which will create problems in the future. We have therefore chosen to get involved in an apprenticeship program for high school students. We currently have two apprentices who work and enjoy themselves with us and our hope is of course that they will continue to develop within our industry.

The workforce of the future is in our children and young people, and we believe that meaningful free time is important for the choices made later in life. That is why we are a proud sponsor of a number of sports associations that invest in children's and youth sports, because we believe that this is precisely where our sponsorship can do the most good.

A workplace for everyone

For us, equality is a matter of course, and together with managers and employees we work for equal, inclusive workplaces. The industry is traditionally clearly male-dominated, but we are working to attract more women to take the step into our industry.

• The proportion of women has increased in recent years, but we know that we can be even better in this area.
• Right now, 12% of our employees are women.
• Kranpunkten's management team includes 2 women (33%).

We have zero tolerance against all forms of discrimination and against all forms of harassment. Through an attentive organization and regular employee surveys, we get indications of whether this is occurring at our depots and can quickly implement measures.

We are good at training - both internally within the company and externally

Our work can sometimes involve risks and our goal is to eliminate them. By training both our own employees and our customers in safety, we can contribute to increased safety at workplaces around the country. With us, over 17,000 people have attended lift training since 2007.
