Growing business and people together

In Arjo, we actively develop our people in several ways. Our Talent Programs allow employees to share knowledge and work together on strategic business projects, under the guidance of the Arjo Management Team. Through our Mentorship Program, we prepare our employees for career advancement within the organisation, while enhancing skills in key areas. With our assessment tools we support high performing teams and help employees stay in tune with what motivates them. Our global Academy offers specialized product, clinical and customer related training. We measure the success of these ongoing initiatives using our People Survey.

Engagement is everyone´s business

Tracking our engagement is as important as tracking our business performance. Year on year, loyalty, satisfaction and belief in what we do is reflected in our high engagement scores – where we stand out compared to industry benchmarks. Our People Survey tool provides our employees an opportunity to feedback on their employee experience and helps us follow up and make continuous improvements.
