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 has been recognized as a Career Company 2026 for its strong culture of simplicity, care, and forward-thinking that permeates the entire organization. By giving employees great responsibility, opportunities to grow, and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone contributes, Byggmax has created a workplace characterized by strong community and long-term development potential. This makes them an attractive and trustworthy employer in a changing industry”.

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”.
 

At Byggmax, we believe in a present and coaching leadership.
A leadership that truly sees people and understands what influences them. We believe in leaders who can adapt their approach to each situation and have the ability to meet and coach their team members based on their individual needs.

To guide our leaders, we have defined three leadership principles that we expect everyone to embrace: Present, Accountable, and Business-oriented.

Our leadership is built on a high degree of personal responsibility and the ability to work with the team towards results. At Byggmax, we believe that engaged leaders create great outcomes. We are extremely proud of our high leadership index among our managers and place great importance on maintaining it through continuous development and training. Our leadership index remains both high and stable — reaching 86 in both 2024 and 2025, compared to the retail industry average of 81.

At Byggmax, you can look forward to a present leadership that supports and develops you throughout your entire 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.
