Energy for LIFE: How diversity and inclusion strengthen our culture
11.12.2025
Since our founding in 1997, Boyum IT has continuously evolved, but one thing has remained constant: our belief in creating a work environment where people can thrive. From the beginning, we have embraced a Nordic company culture focused on healthy work-life balance, well-being, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
As our organization expanded across continents, it became more important than ever to build a unified culture that connects and motivates our teams, no matter where they are located. This led to the creation of our cultural framework: Energy for LIFE.
LIFE stands for famiLy, socIal, Fit, and Excellence, four values that reflect who we are and guide everything we do.
Family: creating space for balance
We know that fulfilling work and a fulfilling personal life are not opposites: when balanced well, they strengthen each other. We support flexibility and understand that individual needs and family responsibilities vary. By empowering employees to manage their time in the way that works best for them, we help them stay energized, focused, and engaged.
Social: building connections that matter
Social connection is at the heart of our culture. Collaboration across teams, departments, and countries allows us to innovate, solve problems faster, and build a sense of belonging. We /encourage open communication, teamwork, and shared experiences, in person and virtually.
Fit: supporting physical and mental well-being
Well-being (both physical and mental) is essential for sustained motivation and productivity. The pandemic highlighted the importance of mental health, and we have since strengthened our efforts to create a supportive environment where people can flourish.
We are proud to be certified as a Healthy Place to Work, underlining our commitment to holistic health. We encourage everyone to stay active in ways that suit their lifestyle and abilities and promote sporty initiatives and team activities for that purpose.
Excellence: striving for the highest standards
We are committed to delivering excellence in all aspects of our business, and pride ourselves on solving real-world business challenges for SMBs. Our dedication to excellence drives us to innovate and continuously improve.
Why culture matters
Culture is what binds us together as one global team. It keeps us aligned, focused, and motivated. A strong culture not only fosters engagement internally but also radiates outward; our partners and customers feel it in the way we work, communicate, and support them.
When we consistently live our values, we build trust and attract people who believe in our mission. This shared sense of purpose fuels long-term success.
Our culture influences every area of our operations: from employee retention and leadership development to customer relationships and strategic direction. By nurturing Energy for LIFE, we create a foundation that supports innovation, adaptability, and sustainable growth.
With employees across multiple regions and more than 50 nationalities represented, our company is truly global. Teamwork remains at the core of our success and, just as the bikers in our coat of arms ride together, our team collaborates across borders to achieve shared goals.
A holistic view of diversity
We value diversity in:
- Ethnicity and cultural background
- Sexual orientation and identity
- Age and life experience
- Physical abilities and conditions
- Mental health and neurodiversity
- Professional backgrounds and perspectives
We believe these differences unlock creativity, innovation, and stronger teamwork.
Inclusion through flexibility and support
Being inclusive means creating an environment where everyone feels respected, heard, and empowered to succeed. This includes offering flexible working conditions whenever possible – whether that means part-time schedules, adjusted hours, or accommodations that support physical and mental well-being.
Flexibility is not an exception; it is part of our commitment to ensuring that every employee can contribute meaningfully, regardless of their individual needs or circumstances. We also recognize the importance of supporting employees who are neurodivergent or living with physical health conditions. Through thoughtful accommodations, open communication, and a culture of understanding, we create a space where all employees can bring their full selves to work and realize their potential.
A workplace free from discrimination
We continue to strengthen our efforts to ensure that our workplace is free from discrimination, harassment, and bullying of any kind. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and included.
By embracing our Energy for LIFE culture and embedding diversity and inclusion into the way we work, we build a company where people thrive, customers trust us, and innovation flourishes.
Our values guide us as we grow, collaborate, and shape the future of Boyum IT. Together, we create the energy that moves us forward. If these values resonate with you, check our job vacancies here or send your spontaneous application for an opportunity to join our team.
