Asnæs & Vangstrup is a consultancy dedicated to the hotel and restaurant industry.
We help businesses build strong skills, enhance leadership and service, and ensure that both employees and organizations stay ahead in a fast-evolving industry.
I am reaching out to you because, through my many experiences with the mandatory occupational health and safety training, I have come to realize that running a restaurant or hotel in Denmark requires more than just talent and hard work.
It also requires the ability to navigate the Danish work culture, where collaboration and well-being are just as important as providing the perfect guest experience. With an increasing number of international employees, we are seeing a growing need for knowledge about Danish workplace culture.
At Asnæs & Vangstrup, we have therefore developed the program Leadership Skills for Operations Managers. This program is designed for industry leaders who work with diverse cultures in their daily operations.
It provides practical leadership tools for international leaders in the hospitality sector, focusing on how to combine their authority as a manager with the Danish work culture.
Our focus areas include:
Leadership Tools: Learn how to delegate responsibility, provide constructive feedback that motivates rather than discourages, and manage conflicts before they escalate.
Danish Occupational Health & Safety: In Denmark, employee well-being and compliance with the work environment law are not optional. We explore how to use this focus on well-being as an active tool in daily operations, and how employee engagement and collaboration can boost overall efficiency.
Danish Workplace Culture: Understand why your employees may question your decisions, and how to use their input to build a stronger, more loyal team.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

Why Choose an Academy Module?
The Bridge Between Practical Experience and Academic Rigor
We have deliberately designed our program as a formal education with ECTS credits – to raise the standard of leadership development in the industry.
Here, we combine deep practical experience with an academic framework, creating maximum value for both employees and the organization.
The four pillars of our academy module:
1.
Industry Experience Meets Theory
Theory without relevance is a waste of time. Our teaching always starts with real-world challenges.
We translate complex leadership models and occupational health and safety regulations into practical tools that you can apply immediately – at your next staff meeting or in day-to-day operations.
2.
Formal Recognition with ECTS
ECTS credits ensure that your learning is documented and can be built upon:
Credit Transfer: The program can be included in the official education system.
Quality Assurance: The course meets national standards for content and assessment.
Career Advancement: An official certificate of your competencies, recognized across the labor market.
3.
Financial Sustainability Through Reimbursement
Credit-bearing programs open the door to external funding:
Reimbursement Options: Support may be available through the Omstillingsfond, SVU, and the Competence Fund, allowing both employees and the organization to reduce costs.
4.
Practical Application and Lasting Value
Everything you learn can be applied directly in your daily work, providing concrete methods that enhance both employee well-being and organizational development.
Expected Outcomes of the Training
Stronger Professional Relationships: You will gain a deeper understanding of your own and your employees’ skills and work styles. This makes it easier to reach out, collaborate, and leverage each other’s strengths in daily work.
Communication That Enhances Psychological Safety: You will become aware of how your own behavior and communication style impact the work environment. You will learn to create a culture of psychological safety, where it is safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and be open without fear of being judged.
Constructive Feedback: You will learn how to set clear expectations and deliver feedback in a constructive way that promotes growth and drives results.
