Menova

Menova is a Norwegian work-inclusion company based in Hønefoss. Its industrial laundry rents, collects, washes and replaces floor mats for businesses and shops in the region. It also packs food gifts for corporate buyers, with the packing done by employees at adapted workplaces, and offers expert assistance to employers that want to prevent and reduce sick leave, including a NAV subsidy scheme.

Customers are businesses and shops in the Hønefoss area that buy mat service and gifts, and employers seeking sick-leave support. The company works with NAV and Læringssenteret on language and work-practice placements for job seekers, and it is a partner in Kopano, an alliance of Norwegian work and inclusion companies. Menova also helped develop Karrierepasset, a free online tool for mapping job-seekers' competences, in partnership with Synchrocity. Its Karriereportalen platform gives job seekers tasks, courses and a messaging function with their adviser.

Menova was founded in 1992 and its registered headquarters is in Hønefoss, Norway, where it operates the laundry at Kilemoen and a work and inclusion office in the town centre.
