iT’S ALL ABOUT
PEOPLE
Talent is the key to business success. Bisnode works strategically to attract, develop and retain the
right talent for today and tomorrow. Employees at Bisnode have the advantages of working for
small and mid-sized entrepreneurial companies at the same time that the Group provides the
opportunities available in a large organisation.
Knowing our markets
The Bisnode Group is present in 17 countries
in Europe and had 2,974 employees at the
end of 2010. The Group is divided into
four geographical regions in which Bisnode
provides a core offering of credit, marketing
and business information solutions. The
local focus enables Bisnode to work close
to the customers and take advantage of the
competitive edge locally. In addition, there
are two separate business areas – Product
Information, offering product information
and online-based advertising services across
Europe, and Software and Applications.
Power of the Group
Bisnode is committed to sharing ideas and
enhancing its longstanding entrepreneurial
tradition. Three Competence Centres – for
Credit Solutions, Marketing Solutions and
Business Information Solutions – allow
the sharing of knowledge and ideas while
encouraging an innovative approach to new
business opportunities. These Competence
Centres strive to transfer successful concepts
throughout regions and to create revenue by
searching for business opportunities across
borders.
The local focus combined with increased
transparency enables maximised business
potential and synergies throughout the
Group.
Maximizing performance and potential
One of Bisnode’s strategic objectives is to
offer an environment where individuals
can grow in their professional roles, and
the Group shares a comprehensive strategy
for Talent Management. With a large
number of Bisnode companies in many
geographical markets and a wide range of
business information solutions, Bisnode
offers a multitude of opportunities for career
advancement within the Group for not only
current but also future talent.
– Our strategic focus on talent development
and knowledge sharing allows us to maximize
the potential of the talent we have in-house to
increase profitability and growth at the same
time that we attract new talent, says Karin
Svensson, Talent Director.
Bisnode is focused on developing the
right leadership for today and tomorrow,
identifying talent in all areas of the business
and developing it to its full potential, as
well as dynamically sharing talent within
the Group by allowing the organisation to
become more transparent. Our goal is to
successfully develop employee talent and offer
our employees interesting career paths and
mobility within the company in order to gain
new skills and experiences. A good Talent
Management strategy is a way to retain top
talent within the Group.
Building engagement
A motivated team is a more proactive team.
Bisnode recognises that the ability to attract
and engage talented people within the
Group is a key differentiator in remaining
ahead of the competition and growing the
entire organisation. By taking a strategic
view of talent development in the same
way as we do with product development
and demonstrating a culture of continuous
learning and cooperation, we engage the inhouse
talent to create a positive spiral where
talented people attract other talented people.
– By injecting passion, energy and fun into our
work and continuously connecting with our
people, we can better understand the drivers for
their engagement, meaning and each employee’s
experience of being part of the Bisnode Group,
says Karin Svensson.
