Self-service, efficiency and integration at Berlingske Media
Berlingske Media is a media house in the middle of Copenhagen that has the media Berlingske, B.T., Weekendavisen and Euroinvestor. Berlingske Media is a free, responsible press and employs different groups of employees — both editorial, commercial and administrative and all employees use MindKey.
Berlingske Media took a big step towards modernizing their HR processes by integrating MindKey in 2017. Lise Glerup, HR Director at Berlingske Media, highlights the decisive factor behind the choice: the impressive level of self-service for both employees and managers offered by MindKey.
Self-service as a core element
One of the decisive reasons Berlingske Media chose Mindkey back in 2017 was the high degree of self-service – for both employees and managers.
"Employees and managers register and approve everything in Mindkey related to HR. It's important for us to have a system where everyone can view and register everything concerning their personal information and employment terms – variable pay components, vacation, sickness, and other absences."
“With Mindkey, we have got an HR system where we spend less resources on administration, which means that we have freed up more resources for development. It is the dream scenario for HR to be able to focus more on development in the company”
Mindkey as a master data system
Mindkey is not just an HR system at Berlingske Media – it is the foundation upon which the entire organization's data flow is built.
"Mindkey is the foundation that provides data to IT, digital signatures, payroll, access cards, and other systems."
The system functions as a master data system across the company, ensuring that critical data is always correct, up-to-date, and available where it is needed.

Holiday and absence registration that creates an overview
Holiday and absence management is an area where Mindkey makes a particularly noticeable difference for Berlingske Media. Employees continuously register their holidays, managers approve – and the process runs without manual coordination from HR.
"It's really easy to use Mindkey for holiday registration, and there are good overviews for both employees and managers. Managers can actually see the same data that we see in HR – which relieves us when we're working with tight deadlines. All of that means we have less administrative work in HR."
The system is also used for reimbursement applications for long-term sick leave: employees and managers register the absence in Mindkey, and HR applies for reimbursement based on that – structured and documented.
