What TRR does

TRR (Trygghetsrådet) is a Swedish non-profit foundation established in 1974 by the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (Svenskt Näringsliv) and PTK, the negotiation cartel for salaried employees in the private sector. It delivers career transition, redundancy support, and professional development services to white-collar workers at private-sector employers operating under the Swedish collective bargaining framework. The organization covers approximately 1.1 million workers across more than 35,000 affiliated companies and operates with a headcount of around 270 employees.

The service portfolio includes individual career guidance, job matching, CV and interview preparation, study support (facilitated through a partnership with CSN, the Swedish Board of Student Finance), and financial transition assistance for workers facing redundancy or career change. Delivery combines a digital self-service platform with more than 25 physical offices across Sweden, supporting nationwide local access. Technology components include an AI-powered CV improvement tool, algorithmic job-matching and recommendation systems, and workflow automation supporting case management.

TRR operates as a non-profit foundation funded through employer membership fees calculated as a percentage of member-company payroll, with tiered rates ranging from 0.55% to 0.95%. This subscription-style funding model, anchored in the Huvudavtalet main agreement, makes revenue a function of the covered Swedish private-sector wage base rather than of individual contract wins. Services are provided to employees at no direct cost, with the foundation governed jointly by employer and employee-side organizations.
