Adaptation and follow-up

In December 2010, a new Inclusive Workplace Agreement was signed with the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Service’s (NAV) IW Support Centre.

The overall goals of the agreement are to prevent and reduce sickness absence, strengthen presence in the workplace and improve the working environment – as well as to prevent people from being excluded or dropping out of employment. Sickness absence is followed up in accordance with the Inclusive Workplace Agreement.
We draw up individual follow-up plans, carry out follow-up interviews, work actively on adaptation, make active use of the occupational health service and cooperate with NAV’s IW Support Centre. We are making active endeavours to adapt tasks for employees who need such adaptation. In cases where adaptation is not enough, reassignment or transfer to other duties is considered.
We cooperate with NAV on training and work experience positions. The goal is to offer five people internships every year, and we managed to achieve this goal in 2010.

We create ripple effects

With its 560 employees, the Brønnøysund Register Centre is a cornerstone employer in the South Helgeland region. The Brønnøysund Register Centre purchased a great number of flights and hotel stays in 2010, in addition to many other goods and services.

Helping to raise the educational level

In collaboration with the University of Nordland and the development company Torgar Næringshage, the Brønnøysund Register Centre is contributing to raising the level of education and competence in the South Helgeland region. In 2011, a class of Bachelor students in informatics will graduate in Brønnøysund. The study programme was started in 2007 and continued intensively throughout last year.

Our apprentices

For several years, the Brønnøysund Register Centre has taken on apprentices. Last year, there were five apprentices in the field of ICT and Office and Administrative Skills at the Brønnøysund Register Centre: three in the IT Department, one in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities and one in the Department of Distribution.

A strong female workplace

More than half of the Brønnøysund Register Centre’s employees, 58.6 per cent, are women.

Holiday temps - an important resource

Every summer, the Brønnøysund Register Centre needs temporary holiday staff.

Seniors in focus

As part of the work on a new personnel policy, extensive work was carried out in relation to the centre’s senior policy in autumn 2010. Among other things, two meetings were organized for all the seniors. This resulted in the establishment of a new senior coordinator role and a senior committee, which is a trial scheme scheduled to last for two years.

Meeting place for start-up mentors

Last year, the Brønnøysund Register Centre took the initiative to organise a meeting place for start-up mentors in Norway. A good mentor system is an important factor in facilitating the success of entrepreneurs in starting up and running their own business.
