Noova Energi System is a pioneer in energy technology and sits at the front line of building a more sustainable future. Their innovative approach has helped companies cut energy use significantly. But for Noova, sustainability is about more than energy — it shapes their culture too, including how they recognise and reward employees.
Christmas is a time for giving back, and at Noova that means showing real appreciation for the team. Silje Støldal works as Manager Organization & Customer Success and is responsible for gifting at the company. "Our employees show up day after day, and the Christmas gift is the perfect way to say thank you for the year and wish them a merry Christmas," she says.
Silje uses the modern HR system Huma every day, where she has a full overview of employee milestones — birthdays, work anniversaries, start dates and farewells. She discovered Glede through an email from Huma announcing that you could now send gift cards straight from the HR system.
The Glede integration in Huma makes gifting easy
They tested it on a few people on the team first and saw how simple it was:
The feedback from the very first recipients was so good that we quickly started using Glede for both Christmas gifts and work anniversaries
So this year, employees received a Glede gift card as their Christmas gift, sent directly from Huma:
The Glede integration has made the Christmas-gift job dramatically easier than before
"After trying different gift options over the years, including various gift cards, we found that Glede is by far the simplest — you can use the gift card anywhere in the country, both in store and online. We are really glad we found it."
Sustainability and freedom of choice make Glede the perfect Christmas gift
For Noova, simplicity, sustainability and freedom of choice matter when giving gifts to employees. "Our team spans different stages of life. That's why it's important that the gift can be used however they like — whether that's donating to a charity or spending it on something else that brings them joy."
The reception among Noova's employees has been overwhelmingly positive. Silje warmly recommends Glede to other companies: "It's a great solution, and I've already recommended it to several people I know," she concludes.
