Organisation<br />
Each company in the <strong>Ølen</strong> <strong>Betong</strong> Group is headed by the General Manager (CEO) and operated<br />
according to guidelines and limits laid down by the company’s owners and Board of Directors.<br />
Subordinate to the General Manager is the Executive Manager of each of the operating divisions (plantmixed<br />
concrete, concrete products and concrete elements).<br />
The group has a common, coordinated electronic data processing system and financial system covering<br />
several of the companies. Furthermore, the group has a common system for Concrete Technology,<br />
Quality Assurance, Control, HSE, and Training Functions.<br />
The functions and extent of <strong>Ølen</strong> <strong>Betong</strong> can vary. Therefore, organisational changes play an important<br />
role in planning in order to ascertain the quality of the various tasks. Each organisation shall, at given any<br />
time, have its own updated organisation chart.<br />
Revision of the functional plan and job descriptions takes place at the same time as organisational<br />
changes. These are kept in the Quality Control Manual and can be checked at each revision.<br />
Management Philosophy<br />
<strong>Ølen</strong> <strong>Betong</strong> relies on extensive delegation of responsibility and authority in order to make use of the<br />
human resources that exist at all levels of the organisation.<br />
Delegation is not only limited to the relationship between the General Manager (CEO) and his closest<br />
associates; it is prevalent at all levels of the company.<br />
It is emphasised that although decisions made on a daily basis by those with professional skills and who<br />
set such decisions in motion, formal responsibility is clearly defined.<br />
Ultimately, responsibility rests with the General Manager (CEO) and the Board of Directors.<br />
The group's Board of Directors and the Management are responsible for the shaping of joint main<br />
objectives and strategies. Each executive manager is responsible for the shaping of partial objectives and<br />
for furthering objectives by way of correct action plans for each operating division.<br />
In order to motivate each employee and to make all employees draw in the same direction, the company<br />
considers it to be of great importance to give each employee feedback and to supply wide-ranging<br />
information.<br />
Furthermore, <strong>Ølen</strong> <strong>Betong</strong> is actively engaged in recreational activities and utilises appraisal interviews in<br />
order to encourage good team spirit and to create a collegiate spirit within the company.<br />
