The new employee satisfaction survey (ESS) shows that in JYSK we are considerably more motivated, satisfied and loyal than market average.

Happy JYSK employees

Motivated and satisfied employees mean happy customers. That is the philosophy in JYSK, and if that is true, JYSK customers have many reasons to be happy.

Facts about the survey

  • Employees have rated JYSK 77 out of 100, which is significantly higher than market average.
  • 97 percent of JYSK employees participated in the survey during January and February 2018.

The survey, which was carried out in January and February 2018, show that index number for employee satisfaction and motivation in JYSK is 77 out of 100, which is significantly higher than market average.

“I am very happy with the result. This is proof that we have succeeded in creating a company and a company culture which the big majority of our  employees enjoy being part of,” says Jan Verhoek, Executive Vice President, HR.

A result to be proud of

According to Pernille Lundtoft Jensen, Senior Manager at Ennova which carried out the survey, Jan Verhoek and the rest of the colleagues in JYSK have every reason to be proud of the result.

“The results from JYSK were so good that I actually decided to check the whole survey again to ensure that everything was carried out in the right way, as JYSK employees are much more satisfied than both the general average, and the average for the global companies based in the Nordic countries”, says Pernille Lundtoft Jensen.

High participation

The great results becomes even more impressive as the participation rate in the survey was 97 percent.

“It is important that as many employees as possible participate in the survey, and I am satisfied that 97 percent of our employees have taken the opportunity to voice their opinion and influence how we can make sure that JYSK will continue to be an attractive place to work,” says Jan Verhoek and adds:

“The success of JYSK is to a very high extend based on competent employees. Only by continuously making sure that JYSK is a great place to work, we are able to keep all of these great people in the company.”
