How did you find Keeparo from the beginning?
I had been checking out Keeparo for quite some time because I have a friend who used to work here and I had seen her wonderful posts about the company on social media. I myself started following Keeparo on Instagram 2018 when they were on kickoff in Åre and was so inspired by their coherance and by how much fun they seemed to have together. The community in particular was something I missed at my previous work and I think that was why I was so drawn to Keeparo. I applied for a few different roles within the company even though I did not have the right skills, but in the end a job came out that fitted me like a glove and on my first interview I just felt that this job was mine, and so it was in April 2018!
Tell us more about what you do in your role at Keeparo!
I started working as an Office Manager in April 2018 and loved it. Since then, my role has grown and changed, so today I am our People & Culture Manager, which I studied for in combination with my full-time job. I still thrive at Keeparo with my colleagues and my work assignments in the same way as I did when I started working here back in 2018, it's wonderful to feel that way!
You've been working here for a few years now and as you said, your role has changed over time. How do we as a company encourages you develop in your role?
Keeparo is an employer that really believes in us employees and wants us to grow within the company. I have been given fantastic opportunities and feel lucky to have an employer who believes so much in me and encourages me to develop. The company has great respect for how I want to evolve and the support from my boss, my colleagues and Keeparo as an employer has always been great.
What motivates you and makes your work interesting?
My fantastic colleagues! I get so much energy from them and love to feel how we develop together. I also think it is so fun to contribute to our exciting journey that we are on and have ahead of us.
Based on your overall view of our organization as our People & Culture Manager, how would you describe our corporate culture?
Keeparo is a company that has grown a lot in a short time, but despite that and almost two years of working from home due to Covid, we have still managed to maintain the open, fun and welcoming culture that I was invited to when I started working here. We are much more structured and divided across the teams today but have a close collaboration and a good working relationship, regardless of whether it is in a work project or over a lunch in the kitchen. It is wonderful to hear laughter in the office every day and see how the community continues to grow and expand with new colleagues.
Do we really have that much fun at work?
Yes, we do. I love my workplace and my colleagues. They make me feel safe and give me so much energy every day.
Is there any fun fact you can give us about Keeparo as an employer?
Do you know that we are offered a luxury breakfast every other week? Perfect way start to the day if you ask me and a nice time in the morning when we have time to sit down and have a nice time together.
