About Dimex

Dimex employs approximately 25 people, and thanks to the compact size of our team, we are able to maintain low hierarchies and have open discussions. Our goal is to be a fair employer, with very little interest in creating hierarchical structures within the company. For us being fair means flexibility, good management skills, respectful behaviour, zero tolerance of discrimination, as well as ensuring that our employers find a sense of meaning and purpose in what they do while getting paid an appropriate wage. 

We monitor employee satisfaction and well-being annually and our human resources committee intervenes immediately if a red flag is raised.

Employee satisfaction

Every year, we conduct a well-being survey that examines the extent to which our employees feel self-motivated and satisfied with their job. If the average of the responses is less than 3.6 (on a scale of 1 to 4), we begin to investigate the issues and make changes where necessary.

The human resources committee

In addition to the Managing Director, the human resources committee of Dimex consists of three people who work at different departments of the company. During the meetings, the committee members discuss all sorts of important topics, including local agreements, occupational health and safety, ground rules at the workplace, recreational activities, ergonomics, well-being at work, working arrangements and company culture. It is hugely important to us that employees are involved in the decision-making processes.

Zero tolerance of discrimination

Although the style of humour at Dimex can be a bit racy and risque at times, we do not accept discrimination in any shape or form. At Dimex, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity are neither grounds for discrimination nor favouritism.

Flexibility and work–life balance

Work is not supposed to be the only thing you fill your days with, and it is important to find the right balance between the demands of a career and personal life. At Dimex, we encourage our employees to have a healthy work–life balance and do our best to offer support and flexible solutions at the different stages of their lives.

Investments in good management

Good management is the key to a fair and supportive working environment. At Dimex, managers are present in the employees’ lives and are interested in what happens at the workplace every day. Also, plenty of time, money and effort is invested in developing the managerial skills of the management team. 

Towards a sense of meaning and purpose

Having a sense of meaning and purpose is crucial to how motivated and satisfied you feel at work. We help our employees find their own place at Dimex and encourage a two-way rapport, which allows employees to set and work towards their individual goals, together with our help. We provide plenty of feedback and enable continuous learning and development at work.

Appropriate pay

Everyone deserves to be paid an appropriate wage based on their performance and the requirements of the job. We regularly discuss the levels of pay together with our employees, and take increased levels of knowledge and skills into account in their pay. Our employees are always paid on time and according to the contract of employment.

Respectful behaviour and compliance with rules

The name of the game is that colleagues are always treated well and with respect. No matter what your title, at Dimex everyone is obliged to stick to the mutually agreed rules, develop their interpersonal skills and promote respectful behavior at work.

The story of the name Dimex remains a bit of a mystery to this day.

Back in the day, Jukka Krogerus, the Managing Director at the time, took part in a marketing training where he was told that a good brand name has five letters and ends with the letter x. Soon after he sat down with a friend who worked in advertising and shared this piece of information with her. As they drank coffee and chatted away, somehow the name Dimex came up.

Well what does it mean? No-one really knows, but what we do know is what it stands for: Dimex is synonymous with the best workwear in the world. And that’s the only thing that matters.
