Opportunity day Trollhättan
"Everyone is needed in the construction industry and we need more of us! As we build a sustainable society for all, we also need builders with different backgrounds and skills. This enriches our workplaces with creativity and well-being, and creates attractiveness and innovation. Diversity is important!"
Maria Strömberg, Regional Director of Construction Companies in the West.
"Scandic's goal is to play an active role in contributing to a society that is characterised by diversity and where many people are included. The work that Opportunity Day is doing is completely in line with what we at Scandic stand for and that's why we at Scandic Swania are very happy to be a partner. Today, we have employees from 136 nationalities at our almost 90 hotels around Sweden, which we are incredibly proud of."
Charlotta Sandblom, General Manager, Scandic Swania
"For us, it feels important and natural to contribute to increased inclusion and diversity in the workplace. Becoming a partner of Opportunity Day fits well with who we are and want to be, and it will strengthen us as a business. By participating, we can also put the spotlight on this important topic. I look forward to inspiring and fruitful meetings and conversations and to being part of a future-oriented arena."
Marcus Hallberg, CEO Folkuniversitetet Uppdrag Väst
"At Eidar, we are pleased to be able to collaborate with Opportunity Day to jointly highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion. These are key issues in our own operations but also in our meetings with our tenants. Segregation and exclusion is one of our major societal challenges and we know that the opportunity to work is crucial to bring about change. Through this collaboration, we hope to enable more meetings between job seekers and employers and contribute to positive development for individuals, companies and Trollhättan."
Anna Wänblom, Sustainability Manager, Eidar
"We at LF Älvsborg are proud and excited to partner with Opportunity Day. This partnership is in line with our commitment to diversity and inclusion. The equal rights and worth of all people is a cornerstone of our values and we actively work to create an inclusive culture where everyone - be it employees, customers, partners or society at large - is valued for their unique contributions and has the opportunity to be themselves, regardless of gender, age, background or other dimensions of diversity. We are convinced that this diversity is a strength that contributes to a more dynamic and successful organisation. Through our partnership with Opportunity Day, we hope to contribute even more to an open and inclusive future."
Petra Karlsson Glasell, HR Manager, Länsförsäkringar Älvsborg
"In Nordic Choice we have over 170 nationalities. Think about it: 170! There are only 195 free states in the entire world. So if a guest comes from almost anywhere in the world, there is someone in the hotel who speaks their language. (…) Opportunity is, for me, precisely about this: to give someone an opportunity and to see those who came as a fantastic resource in our company.”
Petter Stordalen – Nordic Choice Hotels
Despite the economic situation, there are still many companies that want to recruit. It is an insane waste of resources that we then have competent people in Sweden who do not enter the labor market or do not work with the skills they have. We need to create occasions where these worlds can meet.
Rudolph Anthony, Rregional manager, Swedish Business Administration
"People coming to work, and employers realizing the potential in diversity, are two critical building blocks for increased integration in Sweden. We can only solve this social challenge together, and it is therefore gratifying to see all the positive power that several actors create together through Opportunity Day. Alkompis is proud to be able to contribute to this important initiative"
Julia Agha, Alkompi's CEO
"At Kraftstaden, we look forward to working with Opportunity Day. We strongly believe that diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our development. By improving our work on inclusion, we can not only secure our own skills supply, but also contribute to a stronger society."
Stefan Jansson, CEO, Kraftstaden
