Competence and leadership
Industry-leading expertise at all levels is a sustainable competitive advantage.
A key success factor for Volati is that the Group's businesses have access to the right expertise, and that employees are continuously developed and supported to reach their full potential. Through strategic work on competence and leadership in combination with an active ownership, we also want to establish Volati as an attractive employer for current as well as new talent. We want to provide our businesses with the best conditions to thrive. Therefore, employees are offered competence development in various areas through Group-run programs and training, which also create opportunities to build relationships and exchange experiences among the companies.
Volati Academy
Volati Academy is a one-year trainee programme aimed at employees at management group level and other key personnel in the Group. During the programme, which is led by Volati's management group, participants perform common assignments linked to value creation in the Group. They also carry out their own work aimed at developing their own operations, which is presented to each board. The main purpose is to develop each participant and create a sense of togetherness between Volati's companies and their leaders, by creating a deeper understanding of Volati's history, culture and way of working.
