Anko is a consulting engineering company with 125 employees in 7 offices in Norway. With their leading expertise in geomatics, industrial measurement and machine control, they have been providing services to customers and projects throughout Europe since 1975.
They place great emphasis on delivering quality, and their vision is to be responsible, accurate, competent and organized. This also reflects how they take care of their employees, and at Christmas it's a tradition to give all employees a nice treat in the form of a gift card.
Mette Maarnes Pedersen is the general manager of Anko, and explains why gift cards have become the preferred choice.
"Our employees appreciate receiving gift cards so they have the freedom of choice to buy something they want."
But experiences with other gift cards have not been exclusively positive.
"The problem with other gift cards is that there have been restrictions on where they can be used, and there has been no notification when the expiry date is approaching. Most other gift cards can't be used abroad either," explains Mette.
When deciding on this year's Christmas present, Mette checked out Glede, and it didn't take long before the choice was made by the management team.
"I found it extremely easy to both send and use the gift card."
Mette highlights several specific things she particularly likes about Glede:
The distribution was planned so that all employees received the gift at noon on Christmas Eve. Since then, the positive feedback has been overwhelming.
"The employees have been very happy. I haven't received a single piece of negative feedback!"
"I think it's great that the gift card can be used anywhere in Norway and the world. We have a number of foreign employees who now have the opportunity to use this in their home country," says Mette.
She has also had time to use the gift card herself, and despite her lack of experience with digital payment cards, she thinks it went seamlessly.
"I got the idea straight away. It was incredibly easy to use!" says Mette.
Since the Christmas gift distribution, Mette has used Glede for anniversaries, photo competitions and birthdays. She summarizes how she would describe the service to others who have not heard of Glede.
"Glede is extremely simple. Both for the giver and the person using the gift card."
