We are incredibly proud to have been awarded \u201cInkluderingsprisen 2021\u201d by Stavanger Chamber of Commerce. The award recognizes organizations that continuously strive for a more diverse and inclusive working environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusion and diversity is \u2013 and always has been \u2013 an essential part of SFF\u2019s DNA. Since 1995, we have been committed to systematically give people with special needs or a troubled past an opportunity in the professional world. Today, about 20% of our workforce is recruited through this initiative. \u201cWe believe that we become a better business when we mirror the diversity found in society as a whole. Throughout the years, we have built a strong company culture based on respect, belonging, and camaraderie,\u201d says Tore Christiansen, CEO. Boye O. Christiansen, Managing Director, follows up: \u201cThese values have been an integral part of the company\u2019s success. We always try to focus on people\u2019s strengths and what they can do, rather than their weaknesses and what they cannot. In return, we get a motivated, loyal workforce\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The management team is convinced that the company\u2019s CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives yield tangible business results. Boye elaborates: \u201cOur sick leave is well below 2%, while the national average tends to be between 5 and 6%. Further, we have very low staff turnover. This shows that CSR is not only philanthropy; it is actually good business!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to thank Stavanger Chamber of Commerce for building awareness about the positive impact inclusivity can have on an organization. We sincerely hope that we \u2013 together \u2013 can encourage other businesses to do the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
