People are the heart of Aker BioMarine, which is why attracting, fostering, and building talent are key to the company’s success.

We call them the Aker BioMarine Heartbeats
In Aker BioMarine our Heartbeats are the rhythm that guides us in everything we do. Rooted in our core beliefs, our Heartbeats embody the pulse of our organization, driving our actions, decisions, and interactions every day. With each beat, we commit ourselves to fostering a culture where every employee contributes to deliver to our uniqueness – to the Aker BioMarine way.
We belive...
-
We believe people want to do their best, and it is our managers’ responsibility to identify the motivation triggers for each and every employee.
-
We belive establishing a culture of open and honest feedback is key to allowing new thinking to surface.
-
We belive in employee engagement programs that reinforces trust, transparency, empowerment, and engagement across the entire organization.
Digital mover
To stay close to the 'Silicon Valley-spirit' and the latest technological developments, Aker BioMarine has invested in StartupLab, a hub for technology startups in Norway. Using new digital tools will enhance efficiency and engagement among company employees in order to accelerate realization of new ideas and concepts.
The flexible way
Aker BioMarine takes pride in the way it trusts employees to deliver results when given flexibility. Scientists may require time for silent thought when writing a paper, and that may be best accommodated at home or at a library, while marketing people may be inspired by visits to other companies or sitting at a busy downtown coffee shop.
Great ideas are often generated in discussion with others. We encourage our employees to spend a lot of face-time with each other. And to compensate for the physical distance between our crew in the Antarctic oceans and our global sales offices we were one of the first companies who started using the social media platform @workplace, "the Facebook for businesses."
Young generation and long-time staffers
People are the heart of Aker BioMarine, which is why attracting, fostering, and building talent are key to the company’s success. Sharing know-how and hands-on training are considered key success factors at Aker BioMarine. We have noted that most innovative ideas emerge from teams that are inter-departmental, multinational, and draw on employees in all age groups.
