Hemnet honoured for diversity - receives Allbright Award

24 October 2022

 | Non regulatory

The Allbright prize is awarded to Hemnet for its purposeful work with equality, diversity and inclusion.

For the eighth time, the Allbright prize is awarded to Swedish companies that strive for diversity and inclusion and can demonstrate results. This year, the jury appointed two winners they found to be equally strong in their diversity efforts: Hemnet and Axfood.

 

Cecilia Beck-Friis, CEO of Hemnet:

 “It is our stated goal to become one of the best workplaces in Sweden, and being awarded the Allbright prize proves that we are on the right track. We want to create a work environment that is characterised by people with different backgrounds and perspectives. We know that these are important ingredients for a strong corporate culture, but also key for the innovation power needed for a successful business.”

 

Among other things, the jury considered Hemnet's work in international recruiting with English as the corporate language, as well as the fact that the company has focused on recruiting women for positions in product and development and on training managers on unconscious bias.

 

Amanda Lundeteg, CEO for the Allbright foundation:

"Hemnet acts consciously and in the best interest of its employees. They speak openly about and work against discrimination and harassment, and see this as a basis for attracting and retaining employees. This should be of interest to all companies looking for the brightest minds."
