Source text - Swedish
Varför kartlägga och jämföra sig med personalekonomiska nyckeltal? Några vanliga argument från våra kunder.
Varför är det bra att mäta hur attraktivt mitt företag är som arbetsgivare?
”I konkurrensen om att attrahera och behålla rätt kompetens, är det otroligt viktigt för oss att veta om vi är en attraktiv arbetsgivare, jämfört med kollegorna i branschen!”
”Mätresultaten ger oss ett mycket bra beslutsunderlag för åtgärder som ytterligare förbättrar oss så att vi når våra övergripande mål.”
”Vi kan på ett enkelt sätt koppla ihop HR frågorna till verksamhetens resultat, genom att använda nyckeltalen som HR KPI:er.”
Varför är det bra att mäta jämställdheten i organisationen?
”Det är ett klart bevis på att vår ledning vågar ta ställning i denna fråga.”
”I vår verksamhet bidrar jämställdheten till ökade möjligheter för rätt kundbemötande.”
”En siffra skapar kraft och ändrar jämställdhets- fokus från en kvinnofråga till en viktig strategisk fråga för alla.”
Translation - English
Why does understanding and comparing your key HR performance indicators pay off? Some common reasons our clients do it.
Why is it good to measure how attractive my company is an employer?
"In the competition for attracting and retaining the best talent, it’s incredibly important for us to know if we are as attractive an employer as our colleagues in the industry."
"The metrics give us a solid decision-making foundation for the actions we need to take to further improve and reach our overarching objectives."
"We can really easily link HR issues to our business results by using key HR performance indicators."
Why is it good to measure gender equality within our organisation?
"It's proof that our leadership dares to take a stand on this issue."
"In our business, gender equality helps us deliver the right client service and build good client relationships."
A metric motivates action and shifts gender equality from a "female" issue to an important strategic issue for everybody.

Bio
A little more than a regular translator
I've been working in marketing and communications in international organisations for over 15 years, and I am an experienced business writer as well as a translator, proofreader and copy editor. I bring that background to your translations. It means I work to understand your style and tone, the purpose of your text and your intended reader. Your messages will be crystal clear and your words will persuade, inform, inspire or surprise your audiences - even in English. (American or British English)

Business experience and subject matter expertise in several industries
I've worked directly in the accounting & finance, business consulting, pharmaceutical, IT, marketing, media and education industries. I write and translate confidently in these fields in particular.

Recently I have written extensively about business management and consulting, risk management, business sustainability & resilience, investing in emerging economies, capital projects and infrastructure and human resource management. I have also recently helped clients in translating and editing medical research texts in the fields of microbiology and bacterial resistance.

I also have deep knowledge of my personal areas of interest: travel, tourism, world cultures, outdoor recreation, food, wine, beer and yoga.

Clients I've worked with
All of my clients are repeat customers, here are some of them: PwC US, PwC UK, PwC Sweden, Örebro University Hospital, Nyckeltalsinstitutet and Trampolin PR.

How I work
I apply my business experience to my approach to work: professional, organised, high quality, on time, transparent and reliable. I stay with your text until I'm sure you are happy with it - and I like to discuss the details with you. Clients say I'm easy to work with. Read what a few clients have said on my website: Anything English

I understand that sometimes a translation just needs to get done - quickly. So I work pretty much any day with very flexible working hours. Feel free to contact me for a quote: [email protected]
