In praise of the Danish corporate culture
Apparently the Danish army has evacuated around 200 Iraqis who it feared may have been targeted for the part they played in assisting the troops.
With the troops poised to withdraw next month, fears were growing that reprisal attacks were likely.
So now these Iraqis will presumably have the chance to build new lives for themselves here in Denmark.
While this is good news in itself, the part of the story that caught my eye was the quote from the officer who reports that “of course, we want to take care of our employees”.
To my mind, this is indicative of the Danish corporate culture as a whole. Staff are generally looked after very well here, at least in my experience.
I think back to the impersonal way I was treated at several large companies back home in the UK. I left those companies because I felt like I was little more than an insignificant cog in a very large wheel.
Speaking personally, my quality of life is far higher here.
Go Danmark!
