WE PRESENT
How to Build a Strong Culture for New Employees
BY CLAUS JEPPESEN
Welcome to the first part of this year’s Pre & Onboarding Summit. One of the main speakers was Claus Jeppesen, the HR Director of LEGOLAND Billund. LEGOLAND Billund is a part of a chain of family theme parks focusing on the construction toy system Lego.Â
LEGOLAND is not fully owned by The Lego Group, but are owned and operated by Merlin Entertainments. Despite this, LEGOLAND’s culture remains very strong and is what Merlin Entertainment follows. This strong focus on culture is what we can see in their Onboarding. The HR Director of LEGOLAND has more to say. Request his insights here.

HR Director at LEGOLAND Billund
Claus Jeppesen joined LEGOLAND Billund recently in March 2022 as the HR Director. He has previously worked in Go Dream, Food Folk Danmark and McDonalds in various HR & People Management roles.
Now, he is devoted in optimising the onboarding programme for LEGOLAND. In hopes where integration would drop down from 3-4 months to 1 month, where a 20% churn rate would lower down to half, and where the results of their onboarding would be from attracting to retracting their talents.

My dream is that LEGOLAND’s employees will feel fully integrated in a month.

We celebrated the
Pre & Onboarding Summit 2022
Some of the most popular companies from Scandinavia attended: Ikea, Novo Nordisk and Carlsberg together with international brands such as Nestle and Spotify.
It took place on the 22rd of September 2022.
This year’s main subject was focused on how to build a strong culture for new employees when growing globally – everything from best practices to employee psychology.
We have also shared the results of our annual survey where employees worldwide are participating to share better insights on how Preboarding and Onboarding are heading and perceived globally.
We have also invited some of Denmark’s sharpest HR professionals to present and discuss different solutions and trends on how to build new hire experiences. That afternoon, they shared methods, experiences and tools to start up or optimise Pre & Onboarding processes. Among them, Claus Jeppesen, HR Director of LEGOLAND Billund, and Kasper Ulf Nielsen HR Specialist at Leapeo shared with us really insightfully thoughts.
Pre & Onboarding Insights
Many of our new employees quit because it’s simply too intense to get started.
