People are the cornerstone of everything we do
Education ensures constant development
Education is central to Compass Group. By prioritizing education, we not only invest in our employees’ personal and professional development but also in our future success and sustainability efforts.
In our industry, education is crucial to ensuring that our employees have the necessary skills and competencies to deliver quality service to our customers.
At the same time, education helps create a work culture that promotes personal and professional growth, innovation, efficiency, and professionalism.
Education in many forms
We have a continuing education program tailored to various professional needs and career paths – from training chefs to leadership development.
We have a diverse group of nearly 50 trainees, ranging from 18 to 59 years old, and we help our unskilled workers become skilled professionals. Our recruitment approaches are based on partnerships with organizations such as 3F and vocational schools, aiming to support trainees facing challenges in their current apprenticeships.
To ensure that language barriers do not become an obstacle, we offer Danish lessons during working hours to prepare employees for participation in courses and enhance their skill levels.
For our leaders, we offer a range of thematic courses as well as basic leadership training. In the field of cleaning, we provide a specialized leadership program to ensure competent management within this area.
A safe workplace
Everyone in Compass Group has a moral responsibility to protect each other, our customers, our guests, and the environment. Safety First is key in our HSE work.
Our goal is zero harm to people, the environment, and property, as well as to provide a safe, injury-free, and healthy workplace and serve food that is always safe to eat.
Through systematic HSE efforts, we ensure all employees have healthy and safe working conditions.
United for a good cause
Julemærkehjemmene
We have chosen a number of causes that align closely with our values. Julemærkehjemmene is one of them. Joy and well-being are not a given for everyone, but a childhood with a healthy relationship to food and exercise is a good start. This is what the Julemærkefonden fights for daily, and we are proud partners, actively contributing to promoting health, well-being, and happiness for many children. At Compass Group, we have volunteer ambassadors dedicated to optimizing our collaboration, enabling us to raise more funds for the children at Julemærkehjemmene in Denmark.
Glad Fonden
Since 2018, we have partnered with Glad Fonden, an organization that believes people with different abilities are an asset that can make our society richer, happier, and more inspiring. Our goal is always to have several trainees from Glad Fonden working at one of our locations. This mutual learning experience enriches us as a company while also strengthening the trainee’s position in the job market after completing their education.
Junior National Culinary Team
Additionally, we are proud sponsors of the Danish Junior National Culinary Team through our contributions to the Danish Gastronomic Union. We aim to support the pool of talent within the culinary field, ensuring Denmark’s prestigious position as one of the world’s leading food nations. This support also benefits us as a major employer in the culinary industry.
