hi, my name is susanna,and i'm living and working in sweden. i hope this film will give you an ideaabout what to expect from sweden– –not only for work,but also for inspiration and recreation. founders of companies like ikea, abb, skf– –volvo, scania, electrolux,spotify and skype– –all took advantage ofwhat sweden can offer– –not only for good working environment,but also for its beautiful nature. alfred nobel, the inventor of dynamite,and initiator of the nobel prize– –is another great innovator from sweden.
working in sweden will make youa part of creating the future. if you enjoy urban life, malmã¶, gothenburgand stockholm can offer you this. if you like nature and outdoor activities,you will find many possibilities. 85 % of the 9.5 million inhabitantslive in the southern parts of sweden. so, what are the possibilitiesto find a job in sweden? we always have a need for skilled peoplein the ict and engineering sectors. we would also like to see morespecialized doctors and nurses. my name is henrik olsã©n,and i work for clavister– –an it security company in ã–rnskã¶ldsvikin the north of sweden.
eures has been very helpful for us,for posting job ads– –but also for helping in recruitment fairsin countries like finland and portugal. i some sense,more relaxed work– –and more caring for the workers. yes, i would recommend othersto work in sweden. it's a wonderful countrywith a very good work environment. life is good. except for the cold... full time work is 40 hours per week– –and you will have at least25 days of vacation per year.
a large part of the labour marketis covered by collective agreements. we have had big problems finding chefson the swedish market in the last years– –so we decided to look abroad. we went to our local unemployment office.they told us about eures– –and helped us get in touchwith chefs from all around europe. i come from mendoza in argentina,and i also have an italian citizenship. what is it like to work in sweden? it's been really, really good.it's really nice and fun. fjã¤llbacka is like a big family,and they make you a part of it.
swedish workplaces are characterizedby flat organizations. each employee is expected to maketheir own decisions in their daily work– –instead of expecting several layersof management to lead them. the decisions are made in a less vertical,and a more horizontal way. you feel that you are partof the decision-making– –instead of just being the target ofa decision. it's different – and better. consensus is central to decision-making. the swedish people often liketo analyse from every angle– –and come to group-wide agreementbefore making a decision.
when working with colleagues, youaddress each other by their first name. the atmosphere is friendly,but professional. and the coffee break isan important part of the working day– –and an opportunity for employeesand managers to meet on common ground– –and talk informallyabout work and private life. everybody is welcome to join in. time should be respectedat all times– –whether you are attending a meetingor meeting up with a colleague for lunch. in sweden, we value punctuality.
in sweden,most people speak basic english. however, if you are a highly technicaland educated person– –working for an international company, youwill not learn swedish to take a job here. for most other professions,you will need to learn swedish– –to work and integrate into society,and to build personal relationships. on studyinsweden.se,you'll find online lessons– –so you can start learning swedish today. the rights of the workers are one of thecornerstones of everyday working life. the swedish philosophy isthat happy and healthy employees–
–are the most productive and efficient. the central idea is that you will doa better job and feel more motivated– –if you are valued as a person. i feel almost like a kingor a prince in my job. like an important part of the company,and not just another employee. i hope you find it temptingto search for work in sweden. at our web page,you will find more useful information– –and ways to contact us through,for example, linkedin and facebook. you can also chat with us.
