Lantmännen’s employer branding efforts have once again been recognised by Karriärföretagen. Linda Siljemark, Employer Branding Manager at Lantmännen, has been named Employer Branding Hero of the Year 2026. The award was presented at Stora Karriärdagen on 7 October.
In its citation, Karriärföretagen highlights Lantmännen’s efforts to build consistent and engaging communication around the company as an employer. The jury particularly highlights how this work has helped strengthen Lantmännen and make employer branding a natural part of the organisation.
The award is presented in the legal professionals’ category, a relatively small target group for Lantmännen. At the same time, it shows that a strong employer brand can have broader impact by highlighting culture, development opportunities and the opportunity to contribute – aspects that are relevant to many groups.
“It is both an honour and great fun to receive this award. To me, employer branding is about showing who we are, what we do and how you, as an employee, can make a difference. That is why it is especially rewarding to see our work recognised across different target groups,” says Linda Siljemark.
In addition to being named Employer Branding Hero of the Year, Linda was also nominated for Employer Branding Professional of the Year in the BSc Engineering category.
