Addtech strives to be an attractive employer and provides its employees with considerable opportunities for personal growth. The group offers the potential to combine technology with business while taking responsibility for projects. The Group’s position as an important player in several niches provides opportunities for development in several areas of technology, and for working with both demanding customers and leading global suppliers.
Internal recruitment is Addtech’s most important tool for identifying new management personnel, supplemented by external recruitment. The many corporate acquisitions made also provide a significant source of human resources, with capable and driven entrepreneurs being brought into the Group. With the right matching and support, these people progress in the organisation. Most of those in managerial positions in the Group have started their careers in sales in one of the subsidiaries.
Business-driven corporate culture
Addtech’s established corporate culture and common values provide employees with good guidance in their work. The Group’s culture is based on business acumen and a high level of technical expertise, combined with individual freedom and a willingness to take personal responsibility.
The attitudes of employees play a crucial role when customers and suppliers choose to work with Addtech. The Group’s employees are renowned for their ability to generate new, creative solutions that meet customer needs. Business acumen also implies an ability to secure your own company’s long-term profitability and growth based on deals that work for all parties.
Decentralisation preserves and promotes enterpreneurship
Addtech is also characterised by the entrepreneurial ability of its employees. The decentralised organisation preserves and promotes entrepreneurship, making it important to maintain small-scale operations on a large scale within the Group.
In the subsidiaries there is proximity between management and other employees that is often impossible in larger organisations. In the same way, the subsidiaries are extremely close to their customers and suppliers, which makes them more receptive to the needs of the market.
Freedom with responsibility as the driving force
At Addtech, both responsibility for and authority over business operations is shouldered by the subsidiaries, a requirement for the companies to quickly be able to adapt their product and service offering to the market’s expectations and fluctuations.
The independence of the subsidiaries and their freedom with responsibility is also one of the most significant driving forces in the Group. Freedom gives business unit managers and CEOs of subsidiaries major opportunities to develop their respective operations. The price of this freedom is, however, that those involved must deliver what is required. Seen historically, this approach has proved extremely effective.
