Our values
Equality and diversity are our key priorities. We strive to have the broadest representation in our workforce and do not exclude people based on gender, age, religious beliefs, race, disability, or economic status. Alongside our own journey, we want to inspire other businesses to join our agenda towards a more equal job market.

We make room for people who don't thrive in traditional employment
That is our biggest motivation
Even in 2024, people are being excluded from job opportunities because of their disability. We fight for the social and economic inclusion of this group of people.
Break free the 9-17 working days and the idea of 37 hours a week
We hire people with disabilities as our chat consultants. Our chat consultants can contribute with their qualities how it fits them. They can work from home and for as many hours as they wish.
The effort grows with us
At Weply, we have employed 31 people with disabilities, and we have only just started. We have a goal of hiring 500 by 2030.

Why do we hire people with disabilities?
Everyone can contribute with something to our society. Denmark currently has over 33,000 active job seekers with disabilities who are ready to contribute to Danish workplaces (VIVE, 2022). Companies are missing out on highly educated, skilled people who are ready to contribute with their skills in a position that meets their needs.
Competent and loyal colleagues
It is not charity. Weply gets qualified labor that plays a big role in providing the service we sell. Our employees get a job tailored to their abilities, with a high degree of flexibility. This results in loyal employees who stay with Weply for a long time.

Back in 2018...
In 2018 we became aware of an urgent societal problem in Denmark that inspired us to built our business model as we did.
- Around 120.000 people with disabilities are unemployed
- A fifth of those are eligible to work, but unemployed
- Many companies do not provide the flexibility it takes for people with disabilities to apply for jobs
Because of that, they are excluded from the job market which has several consequences. The individual missing out of being a part of a working community and getting a feeling of being valued based on their qualities. It also leaves a mark on a family, when a parent or partner is missing a sense of identity that comes with having a job.
Responsibility towards society
For the society, it also has a huge economic impact. Hiring a person with a disability saves the society around 250,000 kroner. A new study by COWI for the Central Disability Council also shows the economic benefits of recruiting people with disabilities. The study shows that if we recruit 6,800 people with disabilities, it results in a social gain of almost 14 billion Danish kroner.
