Hovem stresses that it is at least as important for<br />
DNV to retain its existing workforce as it is to<br />
attract new employees. The company is therefore<br />
continuously focused on maintaining its good<br />
working environment and to ensure that all employees<br />
enjoy working for DNV.<br />
“We are a team of knowledgeable people who work<br />
together to provide solid contributions to society<br />
and our clients by working across disciplines<br />
and through ensuring newly qualified and more<br />
experienced employees work together and help<br />
each other out. `I should also emphasize that we<br />
are a global enterprise with offices in 100 countries.<br />
This offers opportunities for gaining international<br />
experience from countries such as China, the US,<br />
Korea, Brazil and the UK,” says Hovem. DNV also<br />
offers a variety of social activities such as climbing,<br />
football, canoeing and golf as well as an art club and<br />
motoring club.<br />
Complex future<br />
She is in no doubt that DNV will still be needed in<br />
the future.<br />
“The world is becoming more and more complex,<br />
and we are noticing a growing demand for a neutral<br />
party to come in and carry out cross-disciplinary<br />
analyses. The oil and gas industry is operating under<br />
increasingly challenging conditions. That, combined<br />
with a zero tolerance for accidents and a demand for<br />
cost-effective operations, means there is no doubt<br />
that DNV will continue to have plenty of interesting<br />
projects to keep our juices flowing well into in the<br />
future,” says Hovem.<br />
