What we do

Gritera is a dream home for the best advisors. A home that combines the best of traditional consulting companies with being an independent consultant. With the best and most highly motivated employees, Gritera will succeed in offering our customers what they need

Passion and perseverance for work towards long-term goals

Gritera's values are Freedom, Fairness, Grit and Transparency. In all our deliveries, the term "Grit" is central. By that we mean that our consultants are hand-picked based on their passion and perseverance that ensures effective implementation of both short-term and long-term goals. With great courage, our consultants see opportunities where others easily see limitations

The Openness Act came into force on 1 July 2022, and aims to ensure transparency around larger companies' handling of negative consequences related to basic human rights and decent working conditions related to the companies' services.
Gritera is covered by the Openness Act, which obliges us to:

Carry out due diligence assessments in accordance with OECD guidelines for multinational companies

Account for our work with due diligence assessments related to human rights and decent working conditions

Respond to information requests from the general public

Gritera consists of skilled consultants with a long and interdisciplinary background in both IT and business. Our employees have worked with several key customers and players in the Norwegian market, and will be able to take on assignments across several of our services. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that our consultants can identify the best solutions for your business through well-founded strategic advice, as well as flexible and efficient operational support

Who we are

Want to work with us?

Freedom and confidence to be able to prioritize one's own time within projects and competence building

Fair compensation for your expertise and efforts

Membership in a community with other skilled consultants

Opportunity to influence the building of the dream home for skilled consultants

Opportunity to be an independent advisor who has full focus on the best for the customer

Opportunity to market your expertise and experience

You can choose freely between models with different focus on financial security, freedom of choice or reward

You receive full social rights (social security, leave, redundancy, etc.)

You have all the usual financial employee benefits

Insurance (Liability, occupational injury, health insurance and travel insurance)

Care allowance, sickness allowance and other paid leave coverage up to 9G

Laptop, mobile, mobile subscription and other basic equipment for the home office

Financing of "Workations" which are a mixture of holiday and work

We will offer better compensation than in traditional consulting companies and greater financial security than as an independent consultant. In Gritera, we also have an open and fair salary policy where everyone in the company can see what everyone earns. This transparency should contribute to a fair salary and counteract any form of discrimination

With Secure, you get a fixed salary in all its simplicity - the same amount into the account every month. As a permanent employee, you receive a pension, good insurance and holiday pay. Employees with 4-7 years of experience will have a total salary of between 0.98 and 1.2 MNOK and employees with more than 8 years of experience will have a total salary of between 1.25 and 1.31 MNOK.

With Balanced, you get a fixed salary in addition to a bonus consisting of 28-33% (depends on experience level) of your invoicing. The fixed salary ensures that you always have enough to pay your bills, and the commission ensures you a fair share of your earnings. Employees with 4-7 years of experience will typically have a total salary of between 1.28 and 1.56 MNOK and employees with more than 8 years of experience will typically have a total salary of between 1.68 and 1.83 MNOK when working in full time position. About half of the total salary will be a fixed salary that is completely independent of your invoicing rate.

With Freedom, your salary will depend on how much you work and how attractive your competence is perceived in the market for the projects you take on. Put simply: The salary will be calculated as 63-67% (depends on experience level) of your personal invoicing. Employees with 4-7 years of experience will typically have a total salary of between 1.5 and 1.8 MNOK and employees with more than 8 years of experience will typically have a total salary of between 1.8 and 2.1 MNOK when working in full time position.

As a Gritera employee, you have full freedom of choice among the compensation models. Permanent employees can choose between Secure, Balanced and Freedom. After choosing a compensation model, employees can also switch to model another later. 

In addition to receiving fixed salary and bonus salary dependent on personal invoicing as mentioned below per model, the Gritera-advisors can also receive sales- and recruitment bonuses when contributing in these respective areas. 

Gritera takes the full cost of employer contribution and pension expenses regardless of compensation model, so in no way is this "baked into" the salaries mentioned below.

The guidelines must show what is expected of employees at all times in order to contribute to a good working environment and well-being at Gritera and which is in line with the legislation. Although the guidelines cover a lot, they will never be able to cover all scenarios that may arise - it is therefore expected that all employees act with integrity and according to social norms at work to help us create the dream home for our consultants.

You can find the routine and link to the form for notification of objectionable conditions here: Routine for notification of objectionable conditions.pdf

The guidelines apply to all employees and partners in Gritera, as well as associated advisers. Employees undertake to follow the guidelines below, where each individual's responsibility includes the following:

Read and familiarize yourself with the information below

Behave in line with the guidelines and values ​​of Gritera

Report discrepancies or question concerns about policy violations

Cooperate in any investigation of a possible breach

In cases where the legislation is stricter than our guidelines, the legislation will always apply.

Extra expectations for our partners and personnel managers in Gritera

Partners and personnel managers in Gritera have a special responsibility to act professionally and in line with Gritera's values ​​at all times. As a manager, you are expected to be a role model for our employees and someone who promotes our guidelines for a good working environment. You are expected to assist those you are responsible for to familiarize themselves with and follow the guidelines that Gritera lives by. You are also expected to contribute to creating a workplace where it is safe to ask questions, as well as share openly about concerns and challenges.

Gritera values ​​its employees and works actively to ensure the safety and security of everyone who works with us. Activities or behavior that challenges the safety of our employees must cease immediately. By actively working in line with the safety instructions, Gritera wants to achieve a workplace without incidents. Employees are expected to act in line with the guidelines and report any deviations or incidents to the appropriate authorities. Gritera ensures routines for follow-up of reporting and takes action where necessary.

Gritera has zero tolerance for violence and threats in the workplace. It is strictly forbidden to act in a way that is threatening to others. This includes verbal attacks, intimidation, aggression, physical abuse or threats.

The zero-tolerance for violence is applicable in all additions where the employee is associated with Gritera, be it over company events, at a customer's place or at the workplace.

It is expected that our employees exercise self-control in connection with the consumption of alcohol at company events and in the workplace, and ensure that they are not a distraction for others. It is expected that partners are extra aware of this. It is also expected that you are aware of the effect alcohol has on your judgment and behaviour. When you participate as a representative of Gritera at events where alcohol is served, you are expected to act professionally and in line with our values ​​at all times.

There is zero tolerance for the use of illegal drugs both in the workplace and at events at Gritera and customers.

Gritera has zero tolerance for discrimination, be it due to, among other things, but not exclusively:

Gritera must be free of harassment and disrespect, such as unwelcome verbal, physical or visual interaction that is offensive, intimidating, hostile, humiliating or degrading, and that results in an unsafe work environment.

At Gritera, we all have a responsibility to act respectfully and treat each other as equals. We also have a responsibility to notify if we discover or see behavior that causes concern.

We believe in the value of being a strong diversity where our employment decisions are based on a desire to embrace diversity with a range of different backgrounds and profiles. Gritera focuses on always living up to our values ​​in all small and large decisions and actions, and our values ​​must ensure that our employees receive fair and transparent rewards and treatment without discrimination.

Diversity is a big part of what helps Gritera build the dream home, which results in different points of view and new ideas. By acting inclusively, we ensure that our employees feel safe to be themselves and share openly about their individual assumptions.

Gritera is concerned with maintaining ethical labor rights and procedures in line with the legislation at all locations. Gritera respects and complies with requirements for fair treatment of people. We refer to further reading here: www.ilo.org
