Goodtech gave over 300 employees a Glede for Christmas

Goodtech is a leading Nordic technology company delivering industrial efficiency. With 340 employees in Norway and Sweden, they develop smarter and more sustainable industrial solutions to strengthen their customers' competitiveness.

‍

Gunn Sørmo (Administration Coordinator) and Kristine Goa Kloven (HR Manager) are responsible for Christmas gifts in the group, and in 2023 they were to send Goodtech employees into the holidays with a generous Christmas gift. 

‍

Gunn Sørmo tells a little about how they have solved it in previous years:

‍

“Employees have been given the choice between a selection of different physical gifts. It has been relatively easy and straightforward to handle,” she says.

‍

But it has not been without challenges.

‍

“We have experienced that many people do not take out the things they receive, and it is a shame when the gifts are not used. In addition, people often have enough things already.” 

‍

We have way too many things, and it's been difficult to come up with a combination of gifts.

‍

A gift for everyone

‍

When Kristine heard about Glede she thought this was a perfect service for handling this year's Christmas gifts. 

‍

I especially liked that the gift card can be used absolutely everywhere.

‍

Afterwards, they have made some reflections on how it went:

‍

• Easy to send to many: “We were able to upload an Excel file with all employees seamlessly.”
• Convenient to schedule sending: “We planned for the gifts to be sent just before the employees went on vacation. Everyone received the SMS at the same time, which was very convenient.”
• Available on mobile: “It's nice that the gift card is on your mobile. That way you don't lose it.”
• Full overview of usage: “ Glede "It gives us a full overview of who has opened and used the gift card. This allows us to easily follow up if someone forgets."

‍

Exclusively positive response

‍

They find that employees appreciate being able to use the gift card wherever they want. 

‍

“We have employees in many different age groups, regions and with different interests. Glede makes it possible to provide something that suits everyone,” says Gunn.

‍

In addition, employees like that it is available on their mobile phones. 

‍

“It is incredibly practical and modern to use it as a bank card via the wallet on your mobile phone,” says Kristine.

‍

I've only heard positive things about the gift here!

‍

They conclude with a strong recommendation to use Glede to other companies. 

‍

“It’s a simple concept that fits the entire diversity of the company. We believe that many companies would benefit greatly from using Glede .”
