CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Optimization of employee life-cycle
priorities when choosing a workplace (age 20-21)
I was a project consultant intern at the company which struggled with recruiting
engineers, and wanted also optimize the pre- and on-boarding processes
within their organization. To find solution to their problem, our team
used exploratory research methodology to have a deeper understanding
in human resources management, and mapped out the best practices at
other successful corporations. After that, we reached out to our networks
and looked for engineers to make interviews about their job preferences,
and asked them if they remembered their on-boarding period to find out
what worked and didn’t work for them. This helped us designed the right
questions for the internal interview with freshly hired employees at PR.
Thanks to their insights, we got a clear picture how a company with similar
domain should attract and treat their employees to maintain well-being at
the workplace.

Findings
The internal interviews showed that employees in general
feel good at the company, but the communication
between newly hired employees and their managers
could be more effective with some optimization and
scheduling while they are on the preboarding stage.
From the collected data, it was clear that other priorities
and benefits have a big role when choosing a workplace
besides salary: We conducted a survey among electric
engineer students at Aarhus University to find out what
the new generation of engineers would prefer and could
influence their decision:
• Freedom with responsibility
• Workflow
• Social environment of the workplace
• Lunch scheme
• Mentoring
• Social gatherings after work
