A Global Exchange.

GROW is a chance for Bonnier employees to gain competence and get new perspectives on Bonnier as well as on themselves. Check out who's participating in 2013 below.

GROW is the name of Bonnier's exchange program that is entering its fifth year. GROW is one very concrete way of connecting employees across markets, companies and professions with the ambition to generate new ideas and learning and a deeper understanding of the bigger picture. With the GROW program, Bonnier aims to develop more globally experienced people - for their own benefit as well as for the benefit of their home offices.

How it works

With the GROW global exchange program, Bonnier employees take three-month positions in other companies and countries within Bonnier.

What are the requirements for the applicants?

  • You have to be a full-time employee within a Bonnier company that is at least 50 percent owned by Bonnier AB.
  • You have informed your immediate manager and the human resources department or CEO that you are applying for a position within GROW.
  • You and your manager will decide together which time period or periods are suitable. (February-April, May-July)
  • You're allowed to apply for multiple positions and rank your order of preference.

What does it mean to be a GROW ambassador?

During your stay, you must be prepared to give a presentation about yourself and your company to the employees in your new work place. Upon returning back home, you will give a presentation about your host company, its business, as well as the knowledge you gained from your period abroad. Your host manager will perform a personal evaluation of your work which you will turn in to your immediate manager at home. You should also be prepared to be interviewed.
