Managerial development at Danfoss Household Compressors

At the business unit Danfoss Household Compressors, the top management identified a major need for more visible management.

The employees at the business unit’s factories in Slovenia, Slovakia and Germany were not familiar enough with the strategy and objectives of the business. Therefore, communication and co-operation between the factories had become particularly challenging. Seen in this light, the top-level management initiated a development process which included all of the managers at Danfoss Household Compressors.  

The process is set to result in a shared foundation for leadership, based on managerial tools, improved co-operation, and improved communicative skills and day-to-day problem-solving. In order to provide all of the business unit’s managers with a shared basis for the ongoing development process, a managerial development programme was completed in 2007 for 24 newly appointed managers. The process has continued into 2008, involving all managers in a development programme which deals with how to communicate the company’s targets throughout the organisation.

Corporate Citizenship

Danfoss’ overall goal within Corporate Citizenship is "keeping our own house in order".
This applies to employees, so that they have an attractive workplace and a healthy work-ing environment. It applies to the environment, where Danfoss products contribute to energy savings, and where the environmental impact of their production is constantly being reduced.
And it applies, in a broad sense, to social and ethical responsibility.
Efforts are continually being intensified, because when employee satisfaction is high, consumption of resources is as low as possible, and the company’s ethics and reputation are good, the result is a positive effect on the accounting bottom line.
