Knif Trygghet has been offering insurance to its customers since 2007. With nonprofit organizations as their main target group, they have an exciting client list to say the least. Their main focus is product development, selling insurance solutions, and handling claims when accidents happen. We sat down with HR Manager Tore Henriksø to hear his thoughts after 1.5 years with Huma.
Dissatisfaction created the need for a better HR system
When Tore started at Knif Trygghet six years ago, they were using a cumbersome and outdated HR system. No one was happy with it, and eventually, they canceled the agreement. For a few years, they managed without an HR system, but over time, the need for a new solution became clear.
“Huma seemed user-friendly and intuitive. They are constantly evolving, have experience in our industry, and maintain strong control over data privacy.”
They considered several options—some more than others—but in the end, Huma was the clear choice. And funnily enough, they first heard about Huma from a competing solution. So, a big thank you to the competition!
When we ask why Knif Trygghet chose Huma, Tore is quick to respond: “There are several reasons. Huma seemed user-friendly and intuitive. They are constantly evolving, have experience in our industry, and maintain strong control over data privacy.”
Tore also highlights the implementation process as something he’s really happy with. He explains that they wanted everything to be set up perfectly from day one, so they approached the transition with two key words in mind—preparation and dialogue. Continuous conversations with their Huma contact and solid preparation made the onboarding process smooth for everyone in the company.
Order and accessibility made the biggest difference
After 1.5 years, they can truly feel the difference and the impact of working with a system that actually makes their workday easier.
“Flexibility, order, and accessibility are three key words.”
“Flexibility, order, and accessibility are three key words. A system that everyone uses, where they can find important information like routines, news, and the employee handbook, means I spend less time answering all kinds of questions.”

Before starting with Huma, they expected that two modules, in particular, would be especially useful—and it turned out to be true. “We have so many important documents that must not go astray, and we had a big need to organize all of that, so we were excited to use the Documents module, and it’s really helped!”
Additionally, on- and offboarding has become much more streamlined, which was especially useful as the company was growing rapidly. “We were in a huge growth phase when we started with Huma, but we never had a system for onboarding before. We’ve noticed it’s become much easier and better for both employees and managers than it was before.”
More employees, less HR work

Knif Trygghet has grown from 40 to 70 employees in just a few years. When they were 40 people, Tore was the only one working in HR. Now, with 70 employees, it's him and one more person in a 50% position. So, even though Knif Trygghet has nearly doubled in size, Huma has helped ensure that the amount of HR work hasn't doubled.
We can't think of a bigger compliment! A huge thank you for that, and for a really pleasant chat! We’re so excited for the future with you, Tore and Knif Trygghet!
