The Group aims to be an attractive employer for both existing and potential employees. Two of the Group’s strategic priorities are “create a learning and innovative organization” and “develop our people & our communities”. Our employees are crucial for our success, and as an employer, Lerøy strives to create an including and engaging work environment characterised by collaboration, learning and continuous development.
One of our focus areas is to develop an inclusive and engaging work environment. Within the Group, we strive to build a culture of pride and openness through collaboration and learning across our fully integrated value chain. To measure this, we run an annual employee survey in collaboration with Great Place to Work that is distributed to every employee in the Group. The survey is available in 18 languages, and it is voluntary to participate in. We encourage all employees in the Group to participate and we are proud to have achieved an answer rate of 86% in 2023.
In the future, we will continue to build our “One Lerøy” culture focusing on continuous development and improvement.

Part-time employment in Norway
9.3% of employees and workers at Lerøy’s Norwegian companies work part-time. Of those, 35.3% are women and 64.7% are men. Some of these part-time positions reflect the reduced need for full-time roles, or they have been created in response to the employee’s and worker's needs and wishes. Many of the part-time roles at Lerøy are auxiliary roles staffed by students. This allows the students to gain practical work experience alongside their studies.
Temporary employment in Norway
12.4% of employees at the Norwegian companies are working in temporary roles. Most temporary roles are seasonal and fluctuate with demand, e.g. during the cod (lat. Gadus Morhua) season.
