Our people embody and demonstrate Straumur’s “can-do” philosophy. 

Respect, integrity and teamwork are paramount and reflect our working environment and the way we do business with our clients. Straumur provides a working environment of minimum bureaucracy and maximum teamwork where individuals can achieve their true potential. 

The most recent employee Work Place Audit, which was conducted in December 2007, showed that over 90% of our people are satisfied in their jobs and proud to work for Straumur. Our people show high commitment and focus on achievement is high.

Our workforce is increasingly diverse, with the previously dominant Icelandic nationality now enriched by colleagues from countries throughout our region. This has added to the uniqueness of our business culture and facilitated a cross-fertilisation of ideas and approaches to new challenges.
