Competence development 

The individual's duties must open up the opportunity for professional and personal development. At Strawberry we always wants to have the best competence in all areas, and offers courses and competence development for the individual if this is needed. The employee is measured based on practical performance, employee interviews and evaluations. The results reveal needs and wishes for further development. At Strawberry we focus on setting itself up according to the individual's needs and offers various courses and development for individuals, groups and departments.

Mandatory courses and continuing education

We cover the costs of mandatory internal and external training which we operate on our own. 

Guidelines for support to higher education 

As an employee, you can receive support for tuition fees, books or other costs associated with the studies. You can also receive support for further education and higher education if this benefits the company and the individual party. Decisions on support for further education are made after the education has been evaluated and discussed with the immediate manager.

Planning of further education is carried out as a starting point as part of the employee interviews. It is important that both manager and employees get involved.

Guidelines on how to apply are available from People Experience, together with information on any binding period and repayment requirements.

Performance review

All employees must have a manager with personnel responsibility to report to and turn to. Personnel responsibility is an important part of the manager's responsibility and means that the manager is responsible for the individual's development, work environment and follow-up of work performance. The immediate manager leads the work based on the needs of the business and can make decisions that affect the distribution of work between the employees. Questions in connection with this should, as a rule, first be directed to the immediate manager.

All managers with personnel responsibility must hold at least two employee meetings a year. The conversations must be systematic development and planning conversations and the purpose must be to map the goals and expectations that both the business and you have in relation to each other. The conversations must be personal and both parties must be well prepared. We emphasize that the usual work contact does not replace the employee interviews.

In the case of a new hire, the manager is asked to invite to a meeting within the first six months.

Individual goals 

All employees must have individual goals that are followed up regularly by your manager. The goals must be measurable, clear, realistic and motivating. Feedback to your manager if you don't have this and ensure you get individual targets.

Unleash - Leadership development program/leadership training 

Unleash is our leadership program/training and consists of three different parts.

It has been developed to ensure a good start for new leaders within the group, ensuring that everyone has the information and knowledge they need in the role. The leadership program should also give our leaders insight and the opportunity to be integrated into our culture as well as the opportunity to develop. The three different parts of Unleash are:

• Operational Leadership - For new leaders within the group (0-15 months). The program includes courses in Motimate, digital webinars and a two-day conference.

• The leader in me - This part is for leaders with 1-2 years of experience as a leader within the group. The focus is on learning to lead yourself and others.

• Mentorship Program - Mentor/Mentee - The mentorship program is for experienced leaders. It is about developing through coaching, sharing experiences and skills with each other.

Finder's Fee

We all know that it is difficult to find the right talent and new colleagues for both our hotels and headquarters. With the competitive landscape for recruiting and retaining talented employees and our growing number of vacancies to fill, the pressure on our leaders to find suitable candidates is increasing. BUT we also know that great people know other great people!

That's why we want to give you the opportunity to get compensation if you give a recommendation for a candidate who gets hired at your hotel or HQ! We call this initiative the Finders Fee (Finders Fee - Hotell or Finders Fee - HQ).

Find out if there is a job at your particular hotel or HQ that might suit someone you know! If this is the case and when the person has applied for the position - contact your manager about your recommendation now.
