Employees
Our people are our most valuable resource, and the company endeavors to be an attractive workplace so it can attract specialist skills. We offer great development in a multinational organization.
Diversity is very important to us. We have an even gender division in Management, consisting of four (4) women and four (4) men. Overall, the company employs 10 (50%) women and 10 (50%) men (December 31, 2020). The company´s Board of Directors has four (4) men and one (1) woman (April 2020). Senzime increased its employee headcount by 73% in 2020, without staff turnover.
Senzime conducts an employee satisfaction survey each year to evaluate the company´s working environment, performance, and identify areas of improvement. In the year, we then followed up continuously based on its outcomes.
Supporting the development of every employee, and promoting a transparent culture, is an important part of leadership. We conduct yearly appraisal interviews to give out staff and managers an opportunity for constructive dialogue and following up on individual goals. Senzime has a matrix organization of lines/projects, and accordingly, we also conduct employee calibration with line managers and project managers so all components of individual contributions are recognized. The aim of this is to also capture cross-functional aspects that are important component of interaction.
Senzime works on continuous improvement of its working environment consistent with Swedish law, and monitors progress in this segment.

Senzime´s data protection policy formulates how we work actively to protect the company´s mission-critical assets such as the knowledge and information that is generated in various forms (physical, digital, and oral) as well as information systems, IT systems and the rest of our IT infrastructure. The company is building its success on highly qualified professionals with unique know-how and scientific expertise in research and development.
It is important that the operational risks related to people, processes and systems that may have a negative impact on Senzime are continuously identified and assessed on our daily business. It is also important that we reduce these risks to the level designated by Management.
Whistle blower system
The company encourage all employees, customers and other business partners to report non-compliance, impropriety or serious incidents related to the company without fear of retaliation. No cases were reported in 2020.
Manufacture of Senzime´s products
To minimize environmental impact as far as possible, Senzime selects local suppliers where available, or alternatively seeks out suppliers in countries neighboring manufacturing facilities. This is one of the core strategies when transferring parts of manufacture to our new plant in Uppsala, Sweden.
Logistics and packaging optimization are ongoing projects designed to reduce out environmental impact. Senzime carefully evaluated each of its critical suppliers´ performance each year, mainly focusing on financial status, delivery insurance, quality and sustainability.
Senzime avoids animal research, where this is not stipulated by law or regulation.
