In SwedishDoes the financial crisis affect your work environment activities?
Mats-Erik Eriksson, Stena Line Scandinavica
– You consider the costs a lot. We are only investing in the essentials at the moment, and I am afraid that the “softer issues” will be left behind. Unfortunately, in times of crisis I think that there is a tendency to invest less in the psychosocial work environment.
Christina Törnqvist, Prevent
–The demand for our training courses has decreased. We started to notice the recession in the summer and since then it has got worse. It is mainly the basic training courses which don’t get enough applicants.
Iréne Vallin, Wallenius Marine
– We have cut down on all training which is not safety related. But we also have less cargo, which means that the pace of work onboard has slowed down and there is more time for maintenance and preventive work.
Christer Björkman, Viking Rosella
– We haven’t noticed the recession at all – we have even increased the number of passengers this year. We can still get spare parts onboard as usual and nobody has been given notice. Last autumn our employees were worried, but now it feels as if things are starting to brighten up a little.
