Authentic Danish Bakers Ole & Steen have launched their people into a whole new world of reward and recognition by teaming up with employee benefits provider Each Person!
For over 30 years, the Danish bakery has provided high-quality baked goods, coffee, breakfast, and lunches to hungry customers. While their journey started in Denmark, Ole & Steen’s mission to ensure that “more people wake up to better bread” has led them to expand to the hustle and bustle of London and New York.
This fresh collaboration means 500 Ole & Steen team members can now access meaningful benefits, rewards and recognition. Through Each Person’s unique platform, employees can enjoy instant peer-to-peer recognition with Ecards, as well as celebrate birthdays and work anniversaries effortlessly with the Automated Milestones feature.
Each Person connects employers and their people with an innovative solution that elevates engagement, productivity and positivity. Staff turnover across the hospitality industry is at an all-time high, according to a report by HRNews. Therefore, it has never been more crucial to express gratitude to your team.
Speaking on the launch with Each Person, Ole & Steen’s UK Head of People, Beth Clarke, shared “We listened to the needs and wants of our teams in our stores and Bakery. They wanted the ability to recognise each other and be recognised more.”
The Each Person Ecards function makes it easy for both managers and colleagues to extend a simple “Thank you” or “Well done” with customisable rewards and recognition. The Each Person shop allows users to spend their rewards on a wide variety of products and vouchers while providing unlimited access to exclusive employee discounts and unbeatable cashback offers.
The Automated Milestones feature ensures that no birthday or work anniversary goes unnoticed. By streamlining this process, HR managers save valuable time while adequately celebrating important occasions. This creates a workplace enriched in engagement, commitment and loyalty within the organisation.
The platforms simplicity was at the heart of Ole & Steen’s decision to team up with Each Person. The ability to create a centralised hub to house their workplace benefits enables their people to maximise the perks available to them.
Beth Clarke, UK Head of People at Ole & Steen shared: “Each Person is incredibly user-friendly for all generations, and the ability to host all our benefits alongside the reward and recognition platform had us sold! Streamlined and simple.”
“[Our team] wanted to reduce the number of applications and platforms they needed to access key benefits. Each Person does all this and more for them!”
Beth Clarke added that they are looking forward to “sending Ecards to the team and recognising their achievements, having all of our benefits in one place and earning some cheeky discounts!”

The founders – Ole and Steen – joined forces in the pursuit of quality. In 1991 – on the other side of the country in Christianshavn, Copenhagen – third-generation baker Ole Kristoffersen opened a bakery with his girlfriend Jane in a building known as “The Layer Cake House”. Steen Skallebaek opened his first bakery in Jutland (West Denmark) in 1992, where he became famous for Rugbrød and Rundstykker – the rye breads and small rolls Ole & Steen are known and loved for.
