DI - Confederation of Danish Industries - is a private organisation funded in 1989.
DI has developed to become a strong common voice for industry and its role in society.
Currently 7,000 companies have chosen to join forces within DI.
DI negotiates with the trade unions to provide the best possible framework for labour agreements.
The agreements are made at the individual workplace by the people who are used to working together. The result is greater satisfaction for all.
DI promotes the views of industry - locally, nationally and internationally.

Create trust and discourage playing 'the culture card' - stereotyping
Negotiate differences openly to find common ground and a 'third way' - shared ways of relating and doing things

Team work and involvement
Motivation in Denmark has risen and is now all time high in the seven years it has been measured by European Employee Index (EEI)*
Denmark is in top and has been the last six years.
This years growth in motivation is, according to EEI, driven by salary and daily work content.

Labour productivityThe Danish case
The Danish position is lower than in 2005 and we rank at number 15-20 in terms of productivity growth.
The growth in productivity in Denmark has decreased and will continue to decrease unless the companies gets more competitive.
The unemployment in Denmark it low and we will see a smaller labour force in the future. Therefore we need to introduce initiatives to strengthen the productivity.
