In these years, VEKS is going through a transformation process, with communication and management principles being governed by values rather than traditional rules and regulations. By identifying a corporate culture – based on common values – the company ensures that everybody knows what to demand and expect from each other.

In practice, this means that yesterday’s concept of stability is being replaced by development and flexibility, systems are being replaced by human beings, hierarchical power structures are being torn down and replaced by teams, knowledge and dialogue, and attitudes and values have taken the place of rules and regulations.

The process was launched in November 2002 when the management team participated in a 6-month management development programme – the first step towards value-based management. The dissemination of this programme to the rest of the organisation started in the spring of 2003.

In future, VEKS’ structure will be characterised by a ”team principle” based on a result-oriented process, which is supposed to further the individual employee’s personal and professional development potential, based on in respect of the individual, job security and interdisciplinary cooperation.

 
The values applied at VEKS in connection with internal as well as external relations are

Respect  -  Openness  -  Responsibility  -  Energy
