The Blue Lagoon\u2019s human resources team always strives to steadily evolve in this field. When it comes to the training and career development of employees, the policy is always to provide employees with value in play and work and, in so doing, to increase their social well-being. The investment in know-how which employees gain after working within the company is important, and we therefore strive to give our staff the opportunity to take on new challenges and roles in terms of interests and education.

An exercise week was held where all employees were encouraged to focus on exercising. There were also various presentations from experts with the common goal of promoting greater wellness in connection with, for example, our diet, sleep and exercise.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, the focus was placed on nurturing togetherness and having fun together once the pandemic restrictions allowed. Efforts were made to brighten employees\u2019 days by offering an ice cream van, coffee truck, roasted almonds and a Christmas buffet in the dining room to name but a few examples.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1588768161492{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1653549953280{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Gender ratio<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1654699496474{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"chart10\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;44px&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1653550038920{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Age<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1654699558705{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"amchart10\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;44px&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;44px&#8221;][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1653550235179{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Diversity and equality<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Blue Lagoon first received equal pay certification, according to the \u00cdST 85 equal pay standard in 2018. The Blue Lagoon places great emphasis on ensuring consistency throughout the company and that the same wages are paid for the same or equivalent jobs, regardless of gender, race or other arbitrary criteria.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Lagoon underwent its fourth audit of the equal pay system this year and received renewed certification in November. The Blue Lagoon passed the audit with flying colors or without exceptions. The gender pay gap measured below the fluctuation margin, i.e. 1.50% in favor of men. In the regression analysis, the coefficient of determination is 96.5%, which confirms that the variables used as a basis in wage decisions effectively explain wage formation in the company.\u00a0\u00a0Informative material regarding equal pay certification is available at the electronic Blue Lagoon Academy as a guide for all managers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;44px&#8221;][mk_table]\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 25.8446%; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Gender pay equity certification<\/span><\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 25.9028%; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2019<\/span><\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 24.8175%; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2020<\/span><\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 21.7458%; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2021<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25.8446%; text-align: left;\">Gender pay gap<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25.9028%; text-align: left;\">1,47%<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 24.8175%; text-align: left;\">1,70%<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 21.7458%; text-align: left;\">1,50%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25.8446%; text-align: left;\">Coefficient of determination<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25.9028%; text-align: left;\">94,2%<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 24.8175%; text-align: left;\">94,9%<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 21.7458%; text-align: left;\">96,5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n[\/mk_table][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=&#8221;https:\/\/arsskyrsla2021.bluelagoon.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/staff-1-scaled.jpg&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;center center&#8221; bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; bg_stretch=&#8221;true&#8221; min_height=&#8221;800&#8243; el_class=&#8221;PageSection-Mynd-Mobile&#8221; sidebar=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section sidebar=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;44px&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][mk_fancy_title tag_name=&#8221;h1&#8243; size=&#8221;28&#8243; font_family=&#8221;Lato&#8221; font_type=&#8221;google&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;flip-x&#8221;]Education &amp; training[\/mk_fancy_title][mk_divider style=&#8221;thick_solid&#8221; divider_width=&#8221;custom_width&#8221; custom_width=&#8221;60&#8243; border_color=&#8221;#2d2926&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;5&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;5&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;44px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1653550447542{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]The Blue Lagoon aspires to be a leading company in training and educating staff.
