Our employees

The success of Nilorn is directly linked to the ability to empower and invest in our employees to be ambassadors for our brand.

Nilorn aims to be an employer of choice by offering a more sustainable, caring and safe working environment. During 2017 several Nilorn offices invested in better ergonomics by providing foot rests in the desk areas. Some other examples from Nilorn:

• Belgium - focus on energy efficient IT-equipment, all TCO certified, allowing sales staff to work remotely

• Hong Kong – improved health insurance and increased dental costs provided

• Portugal – renewed cooling system, new floor and soundproofing doors installed all in order to improve working conditions in the production area

• Sweden – with a close cooperation with the local gym employees are encouraged to work out, new adjustable sit-stand desks

• UK - recognition of attendance with one extra day holiday for 100% attendance. Access to a telephone helpline for health issues is provided Capacity building and training is arranged locally in each country, for example First Aid and Occupational Health and Safety training. We see a benefit in setting a structure for capacity building across our locations. One area in which we will train and further inform employees is concerning sustainable materials. It is important that our employees feel that they can develop as individuals and in their roles. All employees are offered annual performance reviews.

Employee headcount increased 24%. This growth is due principally to recruitment in Bangladesh, China and Hong Kong.
