We believe that work should be enjoyable. We create and take advantage of opportunities to get together, both to work and enjoy each other’s company. Our headquarters in Reykjastræti offer many exciting possibilities to host events and offer various recreation. The Bank’s employees have created many interesting groups that contribute to team building, such as a literary society, an equestrian group, movie buff group and more.

Employees have the option of working remotely as part of normal work hours, as and when individual duties allow. We can choose between different workstations, selecting the environment that best suits each task.

We emphasise offering competitive terms. This refers not only to wages but encompasses parental leave payments, vacation housing and various grants. We offer a 5.5% employer's contribution to private pension schemes during the first 3 years of employment and 7% after 3 years employment.

We encourage the members of our team to seek knowledge, to develop and grow both professionally and personally. Targeted education and training are offered in-house to ensure that we possess the necessary competencies to perform. We also offer grants for outside education.

One of our priorities is ensuring that employees are happy in the workplace and we are proud that job satisfaction scores highly in the Bank year after year in workplace audits. We believe that employee satisfaction is key to our joint success.

We want our environment and the Bank’s corporate culture to make us feel safe and support welfare. Effective preventative measures, clear work processes and firm support systems have been put in place to make this happen.
Bullying, sexual and gender-based harassment, and any other violence is not tolerated under any circumstances. In the case of EKKO events, we follow Landsbankinn’s response plan.

The Bank’s canteen offers a varied menu of nutritious food in all branches and outlets. Employees can apply for a sports grant that can be used towards any type of physical exercise. In Reykjastræti, employees have access to fantastic gym facilities. The team is very ambitious and likes to participate in various workplace competitions, such as Lífshlaupið and Hjólað í vinnuna, as well as exercising together in hiking clubs, golf clubs, a bootcamp group and more.

We contribute to mental and physical healthcare in various ways. Employees are offered a yearly health evaluation, two psychology sessions every 12 months at no cost and additional access to psychologists and general healthcare with Vinnuvernd, the Bank’s partner.

We focus on mutual flexibility that enables a balance between work and private life. Our team receives support through different stages of life, for example by ensuring 80% of wages during parental leave through a supplemental grant against payment from the parental leave fund.

We know that first impressions are important and our reception of new team members reflects that. The entire hiring process up to and including the first workday and training is aimed at ensuring a good experience. We are also open to suggestions on how we could do even better!

Each individual is recognised by their own worth at Landsbankinn and we all have equal job development opportunities. We create a platform for active debate and awareness about equality in a wider sense and strive to listen and learn from different perspectives. We are guided by respect for the individual and do not tolerate discrimination in the workplace.

We are leading in sustainable development and aim to continue on that path. We put a great deal of effort into knowing the environmental impact of our operation and have committed to science-based climate targets. Our work on analysing our carbon footprint and impact on society is on-going. Employees can enter into a transport agreement with the Bank, provided they utilise eco-friendly transportation to and from work. The maximum grant is ISK 120,000 per annum.
