The Danish customer experience management firm Sitecore has been awarded the Transatlantic Company of the Year 2016 by the American Chamber of Commerce in Denmark.

Sitecore, which is based in Denmark and the US, won the award thanks to  impressive growth that has catapulted it into becoming a global leader within its field.

“It is a sign that our global vision and visionary approach is a good recipe to grow and remain successful,” said Kim Elsass, the chief people officer at Sitecore.

“Being a global company with a global product has been one of our focus points from the beginning, and it remains a crucial part of why Sitecore can continue to show amazing results. Our success in the US market has been hugely significant for us in order to reach our present position as a global leader in customer experience management.”

Prestigious award
The US ambassador to Denmark, Rufus Gifford, was at hand to hand over the prize to Sitecore in connection with AmCham’s annual meeting at Lundbeck’s headquarters in Valby yesterday.

AmCham praised Sitecore for surpassing 1 billion kroner in turnover – half of which stems from the US, where the company has established three offices and employs 250 people.

The ‘Transatlantic Company of the Year’ prize is handed out every year by Amcham to Danish companies engaged in the US. The other finalists this year were GN Store Nord and Siteimprove.

Previous winners include Gehl Architects (2015), Lundbeck (2014), Terma (2013), Novozymes (2012), Grundfos (2011) and Novo Nordisk (2010).

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
