How is the working environment in Denmark?
Answer:
When you work in Denmark, your possibilities are often good for exerting influence on your company and co-determining the content of your work. There is a tradition for delegating responsibility, allowing employees to participate in decision-making and investing in the employees further education and competence development.
Unlike certain other European countries, the labour market in Denmark is regulated primarily by agreements rather than by law. Agreements are negotiated collectively between employers and wage earners, for the different branches of trade as a whole or within each individual company. Employees with a high level of education usually negotiate their salaries individually.
By European standards, the agreements on the Danish labour market make it highly flexible, for instance with regard to working hours, overtime, hiring and firing of personnel. This also means that mobility is high on the Danish labour market.
In return for their high level of flexibility, Danish employees are guaranteed a relatively comprehensive social security in times of unemployment, illness or occupational injury. Social security is guaranteed by law.For further information about work environment please visit http://www.arbejdsmiljoforskning.dk/?lang=en
