The Hemnet Culture

Diversity, inclusion & belonging @ Hemnet

Every person carries a unique story, with their own strengths, experiences, and dreams. At Hemnet, we believe these differences are what help us grow, innovate, and thrive together. Here, everyone is entitled to equal opportunities and fair treatment - not just in words, but in the way we work and support each other every day.

Our team is made up of people from all corners of the world, and today more than 20 nationalities are represented in our Stockholm office. We are proud to welcome everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, religion, or belief.

We strive to be an inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and free to show up exactly as they are — because when we can be our true selves, we can also do our best work.

Hemnet values

Action over Perfection

The world around us moves fast - and so must we. Staying relevant means daring to act, and learn while doing.

✅ We’re wired for action: testing, trying, failing, learning.
✅ We make bold decisions and accept risk.
✅ We challenge old truths and outdated ways of working.
❌ Being reckless with our products, offering or people.
❌ Overthinking when a small step would do.
❌ Playing it safe to avoid failing.
Win Together

Collaboration and inclusion unlock our full potential. We’re better when we combine our skills and perspectives — without silos, and with no egos.

✅ We come together to make real progress.
✅ We help each other grow through open and direct feedback.
✅ We look beyond our own team and collaborate across Hemnet to reach shared goals.
✅ We make each other feel welcome, seen and safe to fully contribute.

❌Striving for consensus.
❌ Avoiding friction or difficult conversations to stay “friendly”.
❌ Hiding behind the team or waiting for somebody else to take action
Tune In

Market leadership is a position we prove every day - by deeply understanding our diverse customer groups and responding to their needs.

✅ We obsess over customer needs and pains.

✅ We embrace complexity - with courage, data, and creativity.
✅ We take on conflicting interests by shifting and balancing perspectives.
✅ We build strong relationships with our partners and customers.
❌ Losing sight of Hemnet ́s own strategy or agenda.
❌ Waiting for permission: we lead the way.
❌ Tuning out what we don’t want to hear.

I would describe the Hemnet culture as helpful, playful, and encouraging. We essentially have all the enthusiasm and desire to experiment of a small startup, combined with the know-how and possibilities of a big company. It's the best of both worlds if you ask me!

Copywriter & Customers Communications ✍️
Succeeding together is for me a big part of the Hemnet culture. We want to see the full picture of what we are doing and therefore actively seek others' ideas and perspectives, both from colleagues as well as our users. It is when we gather all perspectives that we together create great things.
