Working at JYSK can mean hard work, but with
a strong team spirit, everyone can work towards
the same goal.

COMPANY CULTURE
After more than 30 years, JYSK has grown
into a global group as well as a recognised and
professional retail chain, with a successful concept.
One of the main reasons for JYSKs success is a
strong company culture. This originates from Lars
Larsen's entrepreneurial approach and straight-
talking way of doing business. All employees are
given plenty of responsibility; working hard and
pulling in the same direction, in a culture that
is very down-to-earth. "The atmosphere is very
informal, and cooperation is a key concept for us,"
says Croatian Draen Eldi, Retail Manager, JYSK
West Balkans.
THE BOSS DOES THE VACUUMING
It comes naturally to him to help JYSK store
employees, especially when a new store opens -
he is well aware of the signal he is sending to the
employees.
"It is motivating when people from head office
give a helping hand. It encourages team spirit, and
I can see the employees talking to each other when
I move a box or pick up the vacuum. But it helps
to attract and retain our employees, and I know
that the news spreads that we help each other," he
explains that JYSK in the Balkans receives CV's
and applications on a daily basis.

HISTORY
In 1979, businessman Lars Larsen opened his
first JYSK Sengetjslager; as stores were called
until 2001, with great success in Denmark's
second largest city of Aarhus. Lars Larsen
always wanted to expand, and in 1984 opened
in Germany; the first country outside of
Denmark. Over the following five years, JYSK
opened stores in four more countries, including
Norway. Lars Larsen soon became famous
in Denmark, appearing on TV screens when
national television adverts came to Denmark in
1988; Lars Larsen was one of the first people to
use his persona commercially.
10 years later, in 1994 Lars Larsen celebrated his
50th birthday. By this time, JYSK was present
in nine countries and things were starting to
take off. Over the following five years, five new
countries were added to JYSKs expansion
plans; including Poland and the Czech Republic.
In 2002, Lars Larsen was nominated for "World
Entrepreneur of the Year" in the accountancy
firm Ernst & Young's recognised growth creation
competition.
In 2005, store number 1000 opened. This
number has almost doubled with JYSK stores
now in 35 countries - the latest additions being
China and Serbia.
In 2009, Lars Larsen was awarded the Cross of
the Order of Dannebrog by the Danish Royal
Family. The following year JYSK was able to
call itself 'Purveyor to Her Majesty the Queen of
Denmark'. To find out more, visit

Retail Manager Martina Hangby talks to a Store Manager. She particularly likes the short decision-making process and the flat structure within JYSK. It
makes it easier to solve problems and move on. It is easy to contact the relevant people at all levels, she says.
"I have always moved forward and been given new
challenges - both at a personal and professional
level. This has been crucial to my motivation and
is the reason that I have stayed with JYSK for so
long" says 34-year-old Martina Hangby, Retail
Manager at JYSK Sweden.
Martina joined JYSK at 18 as a store assistant
after finishing business school and has created a
working life which has continuously taken steps
up the career ladder from sales assistant, Store
Manager and District Manager to Retail Manager.
Today Martina is also part of the management
team at JYSK Sweden.
"I have constantly wanted to learn more about
store operations and management, which I have
been able to whilst at JYSK. Our internal training
programmes give you a solid foundation for
success in your job regardless of the level you are
working at, and I have never been bored," says
Martina, who has been able to combine her JYSK
career with having children.
WANT TO BE THE BEST
JYSK opened in Sweden in 1991, Martina has been
part of the growth in a country, which is currently
one of JYSK's biggest markets. Her diverse
experience means that she understands store
operations at all levels.
"I work hard at making my region the best
within JYSK. I know most of the challenges we
face because I have faced them myself," she says
about her current job, which includes developing
four District Managers who are responsible
for generating results together with 35 Store
Managers.
Despite loving her job, she likes to dream about
greater things.
"If the job as Country Manager in Sweden
should become vacant one day, I would like to
apply," she says.

Store operation training mainly takes place in-store at JYSK. Sales Leader Louise Ljstrup from Skive, Denmark practises her mattress-selling skills.
JYSK develops its own training and development
programmes for all employees in store operations
- for those who want to stay where they are and
for those who have the ambition and potential to
advance within the company.
JYSK does not judge people on the basis of their
academic ability, but on whether they have the
right attitude; because getting on in JYSK requires
perseverance. An employee who is not afraid of
getting their hands dirty, likes responsibility and
generates results has an excellent opportunity to
develop within JYSK.
ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
A training programme at JYSK is structured in a
practical way and takes place mainly 'on the job'.
This means that training is based on actual events
and challenges that occur in everyday situations
in store. 80% of training will take place as practical
training in the form of role play, dialogue, group
work and competitions in store.
"When we do role play, we use one trainer for
four participants. It is effective and unique to
JYSK. We focus on feedback and the development
of each individual," explains Lise-Lotte Kromann,
HR Development Manager at JYSK.
FOLLOW-UP IS IMPORTANT
Training and development programmes are
closely combined with regular follow-up and
assessment.
"You develop by applying the new knowledge
you have just acquired, sparring with your manager
and qualified colleagues," says Lise-Lotte.
Managers have to follow up regularly on
employee training, evaluate and look forward at
the annual job appraisal interview.

A strong team spirit is one of the core values within JYSK.
JYSK VALUES
At the beginning, JYSK owner Lars Larsen was able to do everything himself; Serving
customers, writing signage and ordering stock. He opened the store in the morning, and
closed it again in the evening. The JYSK store network is now international, but three
core values exist throughout all countries: Good leadership, good colleagues and team
spirit. These remain the fundamental approach to ensuring that the customers get a
great offer every day.
Employees are developed
through good management.
A JYSK manager must
ensure that results are
always being achieved. A
manager should enforce
our values and ensure that
our goals and expectations
are clearly defined for all
employees. A manager is
visible and should manage
as required. JYSK leadership is
characterised by managers possessing
good skills as leaders, coaches and
communicators. See also page 13.
TRAIN THE
TRAINER
JYSK develops its trainers on the basis of the
'train the trainer' principle. An employee who
is to work as a trainer is the first to be trained.
This employee then acts as a co-trainer after
which they will carry out training alone. A
trainer may be a Store Manager who is going
to train their employees, a District Manager
who is going to train their Store Managers or
a person with specialised tasks.

BERNADETT
Hungarian Bernadett Fldi, 30, has worked at JYSK for over four
years. She joined JYSK as a sales assistant, quickly became Sales
Leader and for the past 18 months has managed one of JYSK's 11
stores in Budapest. Her dream is to become District Manager,
but at the moment she is enjoying working as a Store Manager.
Bernadett's typical working week could look like this:
MONDAY
Before I open the store, I gather my staff for a team
briefing in the morning, I stock check and make a
list of the day's tasks so that everyone knows what
needs to be done. Our internal auditor arrives
for an audit, and we prepare the stock room for
tomorrow's deliveries. We sell two expensive
mattresses just before we close, and the audit ends
with a super result - great!
TUESDAY
I start early as deliveries arrive at 8.30 am. There
are only 10 pallets, but they are big enough to
make the stock room employees sweat. Many
reserved mattresses arrive so we are now able to
inform customers. Then we need to prepare for
the up and coming sale.
WEDNESDAY
We start to get ready for the next campaign. The
afternoon is busy as many customers arrive to
collect their mattresses. At the end of the day, we
change prices and marketing materials to fit in
with the campaign. Before I go home, I give my
employees feedback on the day.
THURSDAY
First I brief everyone on the day's campaign
kick-off. We complete role plays based on actual
customer enquiries to prepare our sales technique.
I order products for tomorrow based on feedback
from my Area Managers and we finish as one of
the top five stores in Hungary. Everyone is tired,
but no one leaves without seeing the sales figures.
Seeing the smiles makes all the hard work worth
it.
FRIDAY
I check that all products are ready for the weekend
and that all prices are correct. I also check
how many products we sold yesterday to see if
anything else needs adjusting. The main tasks
of the day are to sell and ensure that the shelves
are fully stocked. I spend a lot of time at the store,
and we are well on our way to winning an internal
sales contest.

TEAM spIRIT
Team spirit means a lot at JYSK. Employees run,
party and compete together - because a JYSK
employee loves to win.
Competitions and team spirit are part of everyday
life at JYSK. Each store checks its sales figures
every day - to see how the store is doing in
comparison to other stores in the country. And are
there red or green figures compared to last year?
"I'm very interested in the sales figures. It gives
me a kick competing against other stores, and it
motivates me to do that little bit extra," says Jimmi
Hansen, Store Manager in Skive, Denmark.
THE BEST ARE CHOSEN
During the year many competitions are organised
between stores, they may be; who provides the
best service or sells the most in a certain period,
who is able to reduce absence due to illness the
most or who sells most of a certain article. When
the year is over, some competitions are totalled up
and the three best stores of the year are selected.
HAVING FUN
Each country also organises plenty of activities
which are about competition, but also about
having fun together.
In Denmark, for example, employees from head
office participate in an annual campaign to get
more people to ride a bike to work whilst others
participate in company sports such as football,
bowling and badminton. Many employees take
part in a wide range of races in Sweden, Norway,
Finland, Hungary and Great Britain. And then
there are all the parties...
Socialising with your colleagues outside work
means a lot - luckily, this happens all the time at
JYSK.

Justyna Grajko, 38, from Poland. Firstly, she
worked in Manchester, Great Britain for 15 months
before going to Shanghai, China for a year. In both
instances, she was sent out to help with JYSK's
first store opening in those countries as National
Concept Coordinator with the responsibility
of ensuring that the new stores follow JYSK's
concepts.
"I love change and have met many new people.
It has been interesting to get to know two different
cultures, and it has expanded my horizon - also on

English skills which has been very important to
her.

careers through a wide range of development
programmes. In addition, the company's strong
focus on good customer service is very positive."
SVEIN OVE BEHEIM
40 years old, Retail Manager in Norway,
3.5 years with JYSK.
"JYSK is a robust and professional company
with a sound economic base. If things go badly
for a single store or country, we don't close down
because we have the resources to keep on fighting.
This provides a sense of security, particularly with
the financial crisis still fresh in our memories. It is
also fun to work in an expanding company."
ZLATAN BAJI
33 years old, Store Manager in Sarajevo,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, one year with JYSK.
"The atmosphere itself is really good and very
down-to-earth. My job is dynamic, and promotion
prospects are good. JYSK is a well-established
company which is well-organised and salaries are
always paid on time."
