Attractive workplaces are about creating an environment where employees feel valued, motivated and engaged in their work life. We advise on developing the attractive workplaces of the future that attract and retain talented employees through a positive culture, strong relationships and development opportunities.
Our approach combines research-based knowledge and analysis with deep insight into the unique needs of your business. We work closely with you to create a workplace that values collaboration, development and a healthy work environment for everyone.
We are in a time of change where employees' expectations of what constitutes an attractive workplace are shifting. As a result, there is an urgent need to rethink workplaces in both the public and private sectors.
But there is also a need to rethink how we adapt our organizations to a future where citizens and consumers expect more and different than before (e.g. more bottom lines, transparent supply chains, greater diversity, ethically responsible leaders, green production and inclusive work environments).
The solution lies in working strategically to shape your organization as an attractive workplace.
The attractive workplace manages to attract and retain talented employees and managers. It also manages to continuously adapt to a future with growing expectations and fewer people in the labor market to meet those expectations.
Based on the best meta-studies on the subject, we have developed the "Holistic Model for the Attractive Workplace". It consists of the 15 factors that have the greatest impact on your ability to attract and retain employees. And therefore also whether you are considered an attractive workplace.
The model consists only of the research-based factors that you can influence. The model is easy to grasp, intuitive to understand and simple to communicate - even though the professional knowledge behind it is complex and extensive. The holistic model gives you a common language and understanding to talk about attracting and retaining employees:
Job postings with no applicants. High turnover of employees. A growing group of employees will soon be retiring. You're missing skilled employees and managers. You have to turn down assignments or lower expectations.
There are many examples of the problems caused by the labor challenge. Problems that Danish leaders are increasingly having to deal with, as by 2030 there will be a shortage of 90,000 people in the Danish labor market, and demographically, there will be 160,000 more people aged 80+ in 2030 than there were in 2020.
The consequence in the public sector could be that it will no longer be possible to deliver on basic welfare areas such as health, schools, day care and elderly care. In the private sector, companies are already missing out on triple-digit billions annually because they have to turn down jobs. Dansk Erhvervs therefore calls the lack of qualified labor an acute problem that should be seen as "the absolute biggest challenge facing Denmark as a society."
By working proactively to shape your organization as an attractive workplace, you future-proof your organization. An attractive workplace is able to attract and retain talented employees and managers because it is designed according to what they value in their working life.
The organization has a strong and recognizable reputation, offers exciting development opportunities, has essential values, builds strong collegial communities and much more. What's more, an attractive workplace understands how all these factors interact. So if you change one, it affects all the others.
There are far too many myths and half-truths about what makes an attractive workplace. Many of them stem from anecdotal knowledge, old paradigms and outdated management thinking.
To get closer to solving the workforce challenge, we believe it's time for a breakthrough. A new way of talking about and understanding the relationship between employees and the workplace. Specifically, we believe that recruitment and retention are outdated concepts that point to mechanical and dehumanizing solutions. Retention connotes reluctance and being held on to, while recruitment is reminiscent of a 'do or do not' logic, where the power to choose lies unilaterally with the employer.
What can we do to attract new employees who actively choose our organization?
What can we do to make existing employees connect with our organization and want to stay?
What can we do to expand the workforce or reduce the need for labor - and free up time to work close to the citizen or customer?
Furthermore, in our view, it doesn't make sense to work in isolation on either attracting or retaining employees. It's a both-and task for management, focusing on both attracting employees and ensuring that they settle into the job and stay in the workplace for the long term.
