ISS partners with well known Danish entrepreneur to create a social card game to benefit the Red Cross
Katja Bamberger Bro, a well-known entrepreneur in Denmark, and the facility management group ISS have teamed up to create a new card game designed to spark meaningful conversations and strengthen the dialogue among ISS Group's Denmark-based employees about life in the workplace, including topics like the future workplace, diversity and inclusion and workplace satisfaction. As part of the collaboration, ISS is donating DKK 100,000 to the Danish Red Cross.
Every year, the Danish Red Cross appoints a group of well-known and entrepreneurial personalities from the world of culture and business to raise money for the organisation's work to help vulnerable and at-risk people. 'Klub 10', as the ambassador group is called, serves for one year at a time.
Katja Bamberger Bro, who has developed the conversation game Small Talk - Big Questions, is one of the newly appointed ambassadors. When she was selected for Klub 10, she contacted ISS to pitch a collaboration for the benefit of the Danish Red Cross.
The collaboration led to the creation of special edition of Small Talk - Big Questions, aimed at creating dialogue among the Group's Denmark-based employees about the values and agendas that the global services group works with on a daily basis, including the future workplace, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and technology.
"I am so grateful that a big company like ISS puts their employees first and listens to them. The issues around diversity have been exciting to develop with ISS, as it is, like sustainability, an important topic to focus on in today's companies," says Katja Bamberger Bro.
"Conversation cards are brilliant for giving the company insight into employee attitudes. The questions open up a whole new understanding of each other, and what comes out is worth its weight in gold for any company."
ISS expects to roll out the game to its Group employees in Denmark during this autumn.
"It's a great initiative and a fun and different way to create dialogue among our employees about our values such as community, entrepreneurship and honesty. We believe that the Small Talk game can provide different perspectives and bring the dialogue further than we can in a normal work situation. We are very much looking forward to introducing it to our employees when we go live later this year," says Christian Lauritsen, Director of People & Culture at ISS Denmark.
ISS has a tradition of supporting charities - including the Red Cross, with which ISS already has a long partnership. As part of the Klub 10 collaboration, ISS has donated DKK 100,000 to support the Danish chapter of the Red Cross.
"We are very grateful to ISS for supporting our good work and are pleased that a product has been created to benefit ISS employees," says Anders Ladekarl, Secretary General of the Danish Red Cross.
"We have had many skilled entrepreneurs in Klub 10, but we have never had anyone who made a game," says Jens Grønning, who's responsible for Red Cross in Klub 10.
The Danish entrepreneurs Mia Wagner and Frederikke Schmidt have also been selected as ambassadors for the newly launched Klub 10. Previous ambassadors include Danish liquorish entrepreneur Johan Bülow, investor Christian Arnstedt, designer Ilse Jacobsen and Kuno Ystrøm, founder of Nordic Scaleup.
