In 2024, 23 graduates were part of our Global Graduate Programme, which offers young professionals opportunities to develop their personal and professional skills over a two-year journey across our entire global organisation. Talent retention efforts are focused on the business areas with the highest turnover rates. For those areas impacted by higher turnover rates, we have developed strategic initiatives to address specific challenges.

As of 31 December 2024, the Group had 22,639 employees globally. Compared to 2023, the total headcount has increased slightly by 2%. Among all employees, the gender ratio between female and male is 64/36%. This is due to the majority of our employees in hearing care clinics and production sites being female. Our headquarters in Denmark, along with our sites in Poland and the US, are the sites with the largest number of employees.
