Corporate Culture
Managers and employees
Oticon’s culture is based on the philosophy that an individual's point of view is more important than his or her title. With independent, responsible employees and colleagues, managerial tasks are performed at ground level.
Since Oticon’s style of working is project-based, managers are there to clear the track of any obstacles and to see to it that the individual and the team as a whole are achieving both personal and corporate goals.
At Oticon it is people's talents and expertise that govern the tasks they are asked to fulfil. Those who are professionally competent will gain plenty of influence and great responsibility in a company that offers independent jobs full of challenging assignments.
Professional development
Personal and professional development is essential for the production of quality solutions. At Oticon the majority of development arises from collaboration between competent colleagues who respect each other’s areas of expertise.
We have a flat organisational structure in which the emphasis is on teamwork and professional reasoning. Some have management responsibilities, but since there are very few managers in an organisation like ours, the most important career path is horizontal.
An important part of personal and professional development is to pursue one's unique talents and interests. This is why we make a point of offering people the opportunity to rotate internally when the opportunity arises.
