Are you facing a problem in your work, and you are wondering how other people have tackled it? Do you feel you could improve your processes, but you aren’t sure of the best way forward? Would you like to run your ideas by someone who is working on the same issues? Join the Eurhonet Exchange Programme.

The Exchange Programme gives employees at all levels of our member organisations the chance to spend 3-5 days working alongside their counterpart in another member organisation. During this time, they learn different approaches and methods to tackle similar challenges in another cultural context.

We believe that all employees should have access to learning opportunities and be encouraged to grow professionally. To ensure that the participant gets the most out of the experience, we make sure that there is a clear goal and a detailed programme laid out before an exchange takes place.

Who can join the Eurhonet Exchange Programme?

Employees at all levels of an organisation and in all roles are eligible to take part in the Exchange Programme. Like all our staff development programmes, the Exchange Programme is only open to Eurhonet member organisations.

How do I sign up?

If you are a member our network, you can sign up to the Eurhonet Exchange Programme by contacting the Eurhonet Secretariat. You can also learn more about the programme in the Members Only Zone. If you are not yet a member, find out how to join our network.

My trip to Bolton at Home was inspiring on both professional and personal levels.

Q&A

How was your exchange at Bolton at Home?

To meet all these people who love their jobs and who fully understand the impact their work is making on the company and on society in general was inspiring.

What did you learn?

Bolton at Home’s thinking outside the box is impressive. They tackle important work and social shortcomings by taking positive action to facilitate employment and wellbeing. They do this by creating meaningful activities and opportunities for employees and communities to reach their full potential.

What will you bring back to Gavlegårdarna?

Much of the work Bolton at Home does to facilitate getting people back to work is done through cooperation between the government, the housing company, as well as many non-profit organisations. Here in Sweden, we as a public housing company can still widen our horizons, adjust, and improve our way of working with employment.

It was an exciting and fun trip. I learnt a lot at Opal in France: how they work as housing representatives and with repairs. When I cam back to Sweden, I could tell everything to my colleagues.”

I wanted to go on the Exchange programme because it was very interesting to meet other companies, especially abroad, and hear how they work in facility management.

Q&A

What did you learn at Bolton at Home?

We learned about how they work. We met their Head of Security and he showed us some buildings which are complex to evacuate. That was very interesting to see how they planned for a fire as they face the same problems that we do. We learned a lot about how Bolton at Home works with their values. They have very great social skills, and they are working with all the citizens.

Would you recommend the Exchange Programme?

Of course, yes. We hope that more people can go and see how others work.
