What does JYSK mean?
The name JYSK (Pronounced YOOSK) is important to us, as it says a lot about who we are and how we act as a company.
The Danish word jysk was also important to our founder, Lars Larsen, when he opened his first stores with the name JYSK SENGETØJSLAGER. It was later shortened to JYSK, which is our name today.
The word means someone or something originating from the Danish peninsula called Jutland. Being from Jutland, you are jysk, and people from Jutland are generally considered to be hard working, down to earth and reliable.
Values and Leadership
Our JYSK Values and JYSK Leadership make up the framework for how we behave towards each other in JYSK as well as with external partners.
Our three fundamental JYSK Values – Tradesman, Colleague and Corporate Spirit – originate from our founder, Lars Larsen. They express the behaviour and attitude that we can expect from each other.
In addition to our core values, we expect our leaders to display our JYSK Leadership, which is defined by being: Leader, Coach and Communicator.
In JYSK, we trust each other, and we believe in delegation and freedom with responsibility.
Employee Promises
We believe our employees are key to our success. That is why we strive to offer development opportunities with the possibility of growing and finding new challenges within JYSK. When our employees grow, JYSK also grows.
Our ambition is to be employees’ first choice within retail. This means that JYSK must always be an attractive place to work, and that our employees enjoy the time they spend at work.
We also take pride in rewarding great engagement and efforts of our employees. With the right attitude, opportunities abound in JYSK.
We truly believe in our employee promises and live them out every day:
