Our strong company culture and values are essential for successfully applying and developing the company’s business model. We have a flat organization characterised by a distinct entrepreneurial spirit and an efficient, cost-conscious approach to work. Our short decision pathways help us create room to manoeuvre and make it easier for employees and managers to take responsibility and quick decisions. 
 
Our seven core value words were produced jointly and provide guidance on an everyday basis, and when difficult decisions have to be taken. One factor in the success of our values is that they were developed jointly by employees. 

Our employees are our most important asset in our vision of becoming best in the world at DIY projects. They are the people who work every day making sure we live up to our customer promise – fast, easy and convenient. 

We believe that a present and coaching leader is the key to leading our employees successfully, and we strive to make sure everyone has a committed leader.  

We also take great pride in our high level of employee commitment. We have a proven track record of developing and growing people within our great company, this applies to everyone in our stores and at our Service Office. It is an important factor in the sometimes competitive talent market, to ensure that we have an internal ability to constantly develop and learn new things. That’s essential for us.

We are so good at this, we won the “Career Company of the Year” award with the motivation:
“Byggmax is a safe, experienced employer with an impressive employer brand. Individuals can truly develop and grow in this company, with its unpretentious corporate culture where employees support and help each other. Byggmax offers many career opportunities where employees can develop their cutting-edge skills”. 

Working with diversity and gender equality comes naturally to us, and our workplace welcomes everyone. We strongly reject all forms of discrimination and strive for diversity. Equal pay is a given for us and part of our common values. It is reflected in our value “respect”.
 

Our leadership is based on a high degree of personal responsibility and the ability to work with one’s team to achieve results. At Byggmax we believe that committed leaders produce good results. We are extremely proud of our high leadership index among our managers and set great pride by maintaining it as we face a more uncertain future. Our leadership index remains strong, with a score of 83 in the year's employee survey compared to the industry average for the retail sector which is 81.

Our employees can expect the presence of coaching leadership that supports and develops them throughout their employee journey with us. 

We constantly review our offer to our employees to make sure they enjoy the best of workplaces. 

For us, this includes pension contributions, the assurance of collective agreements, preventive healthcare allowances, skills development, lectures, coffee breaks and a truly great company culture.
