Gabi’s groove: Hitting the right note with work-life balance at Etteplan

Thanks to Etteplan’s hybrid work model, Gabi has the freedom to work from home and set her own hours. This flexibility allows her to handle personal matters—like scheduling a doctor’s appointment—without compromising her responsibilities. It’s a system that lets her balance work and life seamlessly, with the trust of her employer behind every decision.

Gabi takes pride in delivering exceptional service and thrives on the challenges her role presents. While the work can be intense, she enjoys the adrenaline that comes with solving complex issues—sometimes a single breakthrough can energize her for weeks. What makes it even more rewarding is the appreciation she feels from colleagues and the organization. Regular check-ins and open communication help ensure her assignments remain motivating and aligned with her strengths.

Having spent her career in international companies within the automotive industry, Gabi values the global perspective and inclusive culture at Etteplan. But joining Etteplan brought something more: a deeper connection to sustainable solutions in the automotive sector. Knowing that her contributions support a greener future—and hearing firsthand that she’s a trusted and important part of the team—makes her work feel especially meaningful.

"I have always felt proud of my work achievements and what my employers represented towards the world. Joining Etteplan, this got elevated to an even higher level, as through my assignments I feel my contribution to sustainable solutions in the automotive industry, while often receiving feedback that I am an important and trusted colleague - and this means a lot," says Gabi.

Outside of work, Gabi leads a vibrant and well-rounded life. She enjoys reading, traveling, and grooving to her favorite bands and artists at concerts all year long. When the Swedish weather cooperates, you’ll find her sailing or gardening—activities she now often pairs with audiobooks, a passion she discovered about ten years ago. Whether she's on the move or in the garden, stories are always along for the ride, making even commuting feel like time well spent.

At Etteplan, Gabi has found more than just a role—she's found a sense of purpose. She’s not only trusted to manage her own time, but also regularly reminded that her contributions matter. Whether it’s through feedback from colleagues or the opportunity to take part in meaningful projects, she feels seen, heard, and appreciated.
It’s this combination of autonomy, recognition, and impact that makes working at Etteplan more than a job—it’s a place where she can truly grow, thrive, and stay in her groove.
