Diversity, professional development and ‘hygge’

Where local meets global

We are a Danish company with all the benefits this brings, but we are also very much a company with a focus on the innovation and valuable new knowledge that is gained when global and local know-how meet. That is why we now have employees who come from Spain, Bosnia, Indonesia, Brazil, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Sweden, England and the Netherlands.​​​​​​​

Meet the internationals

Some of our international employees have chosen to move to Denmark for a calmer life. Others were drawn from the story that Danes are among the happiest people in the world. But what is common to all of them is that they wanted to find an IT company with great job satisfaction and a Scandinavian management style that can embrace international employees and that offers an environment where language is not a challenge, and diversity is not an obstacle but a force.

Let’s meet up and ’hygge’

We are a very social workplace with countless social events, and this gives us the opportunity to welcome our new employees in a slightly more informal setting. In addition, twice a year we host an event especially for our international employees, where they meet for a pleasant afternoon in one another’s company. Over time, the international events have offered everything from board game tournaments to guided tours in the city of Odense, but what is always certain is that we put the Danish culture under a microscope with various humorous activities and fun stories.

Hesehus from an international point of view

If we ask our new international employees what they particularly notice about Hesehus, they often highlight the informal style of management and the close cooperation with one’s manager. They also very much point to the team-oriented culture where we solve the tasks together and that there is room for professional development and dialogue.


What the international Hesehusians also often mention and value when encountering Hesehus' work culture is the recognition of family and leisure time. They say that it is nice to be in a place where there is an insistence on a good balance between career and private life, and where one takes times off when one is off.

Gain new skills with Danish lessons

At Hesehus, we do not see the language as a barrier, and we naturally switch from Danish to English in both professional and social contexts. To ensure that our international employees also thrive outside of work, we offer Danish lessons. The response is that it literally makes learning Danish a breeze.

The big move

We do everything we can to make our new international employees feel comfortable in the decision of moving to Denmark and Odense. If you are our next Hesehusian-to-be, we will be happy to follow you closely in the recruitment and relocating process and we are ready with a helping hand if any questions about practical matters arise. We see it as one of our most important tasks to pave the way so that our new employees become well-integrated and quickly settle in both as Hesehusians and Odensians.

Next step: On adventure in Odense​​​​​​​

We cooperate with several different networks, each of which helps us integrate our international employees and their families in Denmark and Odense. For example, we work closely with International Community (Odense Municipality), which offers step-by-step guidance regarding the relocation process and organises many international meet ups and cultural events.

The culture at Hesehus is truly something special. People are the focus, and a lot of effort is put into fostering good relationships - both within one's own team and across the organization. This makes it a joy to come into work every day.


Our culture embraces diversity and allows everyone to be themselves, which makes us even better at solving tasks together. You can really feel that people care about each other, whether it is participating in the Social Committee's events or helping a colleague solve even the most impossible problem.


And we are just really good at celebrating our successes - and fortunately, there are many of them!"

I have been at Hesehus since 2019 and can honestly say that it is a fantastic workplace. From the first day, I was met by kind and open people, and that impression has only been confirmed. The work environment is characterized by openness and collaboration, where everyone feels welcome and appreciated.


I especially value the incredible flexibility and prioritization of work-life balance. It allows me to be there for my family while also having a career I love. Hesehus also invests in our professional and personal development, which is very motivating.


The fantastic environment and flexibility make me see myself working here for many years to come. All in all, I feel valued and supported, both in my work and personal life."
