We invest in our employees

We want you to develop and flourish – today and tomorrow. Your development is Holmen’s. We therefore place emphasis on the competence development of our employees and facilitate growth through stimulating tasks and new challenges. We have a learning culture that is clearly goal-oriented.

As an employee at Holmen, you are given a great deal of trust and responsibility. You decide how to shape your work to reach the goals set and are able to steer your own development and that of the company. All Holmen’s business areas provide a range of training programmes each year to boost the skills of employees. This involves increasing professional skills and creating the right conditions to equip our employees to take on new challenges.

 

Where nature and technology work hand in hand

We believe in nature. We believe in technology. And we believe in our employees. It is thanks to you that we can continue to introduce exciting new products or improve our energy efficiency.

Competence development is also essential, given that we work with advanced technology that is developing rapidly. As an employee, you will be part of developing the solutions of the future – today. Our expert and forward-looking employees are the key to us being able to continue managing and refining our forests.

 

Career paths at Holmen

We encourage internal mobility and want our employees to develop in their careers and try new things. If you are keen to do so, there are excellent opportunities to try out different jobs within your own unit or by moving to another one.

 

Broaden your skills or specialise

You have every opportunity to shape your career at Holmen and it doesn’t need to follow a given path. For example, you could choose to specialise or to broaden your skills in an area that interests you. We offer plenty of different roles and you have the chance to try something new without changing company.

 

Leadership development

Good leadership is an important part of our success. We make high demands of our managers, but we’ll also make sure you get the support you need in terms of development and tools. Several different leadership programmes are offered, whether you are a new or more experienced manager.
