- cThat all employees may work from home whenever they want.At alle medarbejdere må arbejde hjemme, når de vil.
Why?
The word combines flexibility and security. Companies can easily hire and dismiss staff, and a person who loses their job can get unemployment benefit (dagpenge) from an unemployment insurance fund (a-kasse) or other help. Unemployed people also get help to find work again, for example through courses.
