Even closer to Sam Eyde

(August 19, 2008) “Are we still discovering new knowledge about Sam Eyde in 2008? Definitely. And it’s all very interesting,” states Bjørnar Johansen at the Hydro Museum in Notodden as he looks across at Paulina Armata, one of the museum guides this summer. Hydro’s founders continue to fascinate. Hydro’s pioneers still attract people’s interest more than a century after the company was founded.

It’s what’s inside that counts

We’re probably biased, but we think the people who work at Hydro are pretty special. It’s not about where they come from or about language or looks. It’s about what’s inside.

Qatalum will be the world's largest primary aluminium plant ever built in one step. Construction work is underway in Qatar — and in Hydro, we'll soon be recruiting key personnel for this major development. If you're considering a career in Hydro, this could be the next item on your CV.

Developing a talent for diversity

(September 03, 2007)

Diversity was once primarily about equal opportunities giving people from different backgrounds access to jobs. That's still important, but in fact, greater diversity is better for business. In Hydro, we believe that a new philosophy of dealing with people's differences can bring strategic advantage, as well as benefiting individual careers and forming part of corporate responsibility.

Kids or career? In Hydro, we won't make you choose

The tyranny of the clock is not a new phenomenon — but it seems that the pace of modern life is accelerating by the day. We bolt down a cup of coffee (or three), herd the kids (if we've got them) off to day care, and drive (way too fast) to work. Then it's eight or ten hours or more at the office before the mad dash home. Sounds familiar?
