How we work

We create meaningfulness by way of various activities, actions, and meetings. We also have to be aware of people’s personal needs. At the heart of everything we do are our core values, FENA

“RO-Gruppen is doing something great, which is difficult to put your finger on. It’s a bit like having the X factor.”

Showing consideration
Actively showing consideration builds trust and confidence. It is one of the most important prerequisites for running a healthy organisation.

The work/life balance
We know life has its ups and downs. And sometimes it can be difficult to combine your private life with working. For this reason, we’re using tools that create the conditions for finding the right balance. Essentially, this requires effective and systematic work environment efforts that focus on rehabilitation, prevention, and health promotion.

Flexibility and responsibility
We believe that giving people flexibility and control over their work is a cornerstone in striking a good work/life balance. This means the flexibility to choose working hours and the ability to work from home for those who have the opportunity to do so.

“The freedom to do what you want in your profession. They give you responsibility, set you free, and trust you. That’s why I work for RO-Gruppen.”

Parental leave
It should be easy to take parental leave. Someone taking parental leave should feel just as much a part of RO-Gruppen even while they’re away, which is why we invite everyone taking parental leave to all our events, parties, and well-being trips. Our people should feel that they can be at home with their children when they’re unwell or take time off without feeling inadequate.

Well-being trips
Although the group consists of several companies, it’s extremely important that we promote our shared RO culture. This is why we make sure that as many people as possible can take part in our well-being trips. Although the trip is paid for by the employee, it is a reasonable price. Employees can choose to have a small amount deducted from their monthly salary to be saved in an account and used to pay for the well-being trip.

“As we entered the darkened conference hall, the RO-Vision logo appeared on the screens and the famous Eurovision anthem played. We just knew that only RO-Gruppen would do something like this! Only the President and CEO and Vice President of RO-Gruppen could pull off a performance like this with no holds barred! RO-Gruppen follows through with the concepts that only ever get to the idea phase in other companies. Our trip to Malta was one of the most fun things I’ve done.”

Showing appreciation
It’s rarely quiet in our corridors. You often hear the words “Good job!” being exchanged by colleagues. Our shared breakfasts are a forum for everyday chat as well as an important channel for information in order to provide an insight into what others are working on and how projects are progressing. People become interested in their colleagues, their work, and their hobbies.

Pride
When we talk with our employees, it’s often pride that shines through. We see this as confirmation that our efforts to inspire our employees are succeeding.

It’s good to celebrate
At our offices and buildings, we celebrate winning new projects with a champagne breakfast or cake. In the office we traditionally ring a brass bell that can be heard throughout the building. Everyone gathers around the bell to give their congratulations and to celebrate. We also arrange activity evenings with each company, attend after-work events, and have some fun.

Awareness of key life events
HR has a monitoring procedure for major birthdays. We also have congratulatory procedures for marriages and other key life events.

Fair allocation
All employees have the same benefits, regardless of their occupational category or department. This includes retail discounts, health insurance, and gym passes.
The fair allocation of material resources is also important. All our office workers have the same modern equipment for their work, while our tradespeople have equal access to material resources. Through employee appraisals and informal dialogue, everyone is able to request development opportunities.

Profit-sharing programme for all employees
All our employees are included in our profit-sharing or bonus programmes. In order to increase commitment and the sense of responsibility and participation, we have a simple and attractive model that means everyone can benefit when the company performs well.

“For us, assessment is based heavily on looking at what our employees are doing, which is more important than the individual reward assessments. That’s why leadership is so important, so that the managers can see what the staff are doing.”

We take social responsibility

The construction of housing touches on a number of areas that have an impact on the entire social structure. For this reason, our vision “We want to build a better world” aims to place our business in a broader context than the here and now. We want to build a better world for future generations.

We’re doing this by:

• promoting gender equality and diversity;
• using a climate-smart approach in our construction;
• providing local sponsorship; and
• organising joint charity collections.

“It’s great that our employer is taking social responsibility. Collections that involve everyone, even suppliers, make it feel all the more genuine. It fits well with our values.”
