The past year has been eventful, stressful and fun at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Covid epidemic and response to it framed the year; at the very end of 2020, vaccinations began among residents of nursing homes, and by the end of the year, the omicron variant had not yet caught up, so to speak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other projects that have left their mark on the year are the shortening of the working week in daytime and shift work, the implementation of regulations related to the European Union's personal data protection legislation (GDPR) and a new look and feel at the end of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in life itself, daily work has moved somewhat into the electronic world, and Workplace has been our home ground for internal communication, welcome when all coffee hours are canceled, annual celebrations and fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year is the first full year in which work is being carried out according to the 2020\u201323 strategy and therefore material to settle the year with regard to the performance indicators that were set. Many of them are green and many goals have been achieved. Others have not been achieved, and a settlement of this kind is therefore a useful reminder not to forget the course but to continue even if everything does not go as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I write this, the results of the survey about Organization of the year<\/em> which measure job satisfaction in various ways. They show that our rating is still rising. It has never been higher and is higher than at our sister institutions. This is important; with good and happy staff, we all feel better, but the service also improves because with increased job satisfaction, we keep staff longer and we receive more applications for vacancies. <\/p>\nGylfi \u00d3lafsson CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strategy and performance indicators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Policy for the years 2020\u201323<\/a> was approved in late 2020. It set out key actions and numerical performance indicators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now at the beginning of the year 2022 there is an occasion to settle 2021 as the first full year under the new policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailed performance indicators were 25. Ten objectives were fully achieved. Four goals were partially achieved or it remains to be seen how this was achieved. Eleven goals were not achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calculation of the performance indicators is a mixed bag. Many of the green dots have required a lot of work and we can be proud of them. Other points are red. There are some things that we cannot fully handle, but other things that could have been done better. A number of quality projects have been on the back burner due to disruption and workload due to the pandemic. A settlement of this kind is nevertheless a necessary reminder of what has gone well, a review of the goals we have set for ourselves, and a useful tool for prioritizing limited time and funds. <\/p>\nGylfi \u00d3lafsson CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
