n April 2024, VELA won the Denmark’s Best Workplace for Seniors 2024 award, presented by the organisation Great Place to Work.

This is the culmination of many years of hard work. We are delighted and proud, says Per Buus, CEO of VELA, and continues:
The experience and knowledge that our seniors have and share are often taken for granted in the job market. It is important for us to highlight and better recognise their qualities.

Special senior schemes and the Honour Club

According to Great Place to Work (GPTW), VELA wins the award because we offer flexible working hours, special senior schemes, and the Honour Club, which celebrates retired employees and ensures they remain an active part of the company’s social community.

The most important thing is that it suits the individual. The scheme is not generic for everyone. For us, the most important thing is that they stay with the company and share their experiences, says Per Buus, adding:
Some seniors become key figures in the company due to their experience, and therefore we want to keep them for as long as possible.

Additionally, VELA wins seventh place in the main category of “Best Workplace in Denmark” in the category of 50-499 employees.
