Our social responsibility

Safety and well-being are most important

All rental companies have machines, but not all rental companies have our fantastic employees — that’s something only we have. We are proud of our dedicated and skilled employees, and they are the ones who make our success story possible. Our culture, created together, is shaped by our core values — Competence, Efficiency, Personal Commitment, and Safety — and together we deliver services and machines to customers across the country every day.

Well-being

Feeling well is a prerequisite for doing a good job. In recent employee surveys, we have seen a decline in our employees’ physical health, which has led us to set various goals to reverse this trend. Measuring the benefits and results of this type of goal can be challenging, but we have observed that more employees have used the wellness allowance in recent years.

However, it’s not only about physical health — mental well-being must also be in balance. We are aware that ill health is increasing in society, and for us, it is important to allocate resources if we see that someone is struggling. As a preventive measure, we are now training all managers and safety representatives in organizational and social work environment management.

Sick leave

Historically, our sickness absence 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. In recent years, the pandemic has naturally had an impact on sickness absence levels.

Safe workplaces are essential

Through our internal incident and accident reporting system, we capture both new and past situations that could pose risks in the workplace. Our employees understand the importance of always reporting all types of incidents, whether small or large. In this way, we create a basis that enables us to take preventive measures and make improvements where needed.

Our safety representatives play an important and integral role in our safety work. They serve as the link between employees and the company, and we encourage active dialogue both among the safety representatives themselves and with managers.

Zero tolerance to alcohol and drugs

We have a clear alcohol and drug policy, and our managers are trained to identify and handle these types of issues. Unfortunately, drug use is increasing in society at large, and this is reflected in working life. Our policy is that all new employees must undergo a drug test before employment. In addition, we conduct random drug tests throughout the year, and all our vehicles are equipped with alcohol ignition interlocks, including the vehicle-mounted lifts in our fleet. These initiatives have been met with positive responses from both employees and customers.

Professional development at work

Being a truly sustainable employer also means having the ability to offer career development opportunities for employees. Every employee has their own training plan, and we actively work to identify those who want to grow in their roles. One clear challenge for our industry is future skills supply. Fewer and fewer young people are choosing careers in the industrial sector, which will create problems in the future.

For this reason, we have, for several years now, been involved in an apprenticeship program for upper secondary school students. Some of our current employees were once apprentices with us, and it is encouraging that they have chosen to remain both in the industry and with our company. They also serve as important role models for our new apprentices.

The workforce of the future is found in our children and young people, and we believe that a meaningful leisure time plays a role in the choices they make later in life. That’s why we are proud sponsors of a number of sports clubs that focus on children’s and youth sports, as we believe that this is where our sponsorship can make the greatest impact.

A workplace for everyone

For us, gender equality is a given, and together with managers and employees, we work to create equal and inclusive workplaces. The industry has traditionally been male-dominated, but we strive to attract more women to take the step into our sector. We have zero tolerance for all forms of discrimination and harassment. Through an attentive organization and regular employee surveys, we receive indications of whether such issues occur at our depots and can quickly take action.

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

Vårt arbete kan ibland innebära risker och vårt mål är att eliminera dem. Genom att utbilda både våra egna medarbetare och våra kunder inom säkerhet kan vi bidra med ökad säkerhet på arbetsplatser runt om i landet. Hos oss har över 20 000 personer gått liftutbildning sedan 2007.
