What Trygghetsstiftelsen does

Trygghetsstiftelsen (TSN) is a Swedish foundation (stiftelse) established in 1990 to serve as the designated transition organization for the Swedish state-sector collective agreement area. It operates under "Avtal om omställning," the collective agreement negotiated between Arbetsgivarverket (the state employer agency) and the public-sector labor confederations OFR/S, P, O, Saco-S and SEKO, with governance shared through Omställningsnämnden (the Transition Board). Its mandate is to provide transition support — job coaching, career counseling, recruitment matching, study guidance, entrepreneurship coaching, and financial supplements — to government employees who are being laid off, whose fixed-term contracts are expiring, whose agencies are being relocated, or who face illness-related termination. The organization serves approximately 2,000 customers per year, with reported outcomes of 79% finding new employment before the end of their notice period, 84% within nine months, and 62% re-entering government-sector roles.

The service is delivered through a hybrid model combining in-person advisory across three offices (Stockholm headquarters at Regeringsgatan 67, plus Göteborg and Malmö) and a digital platform stack. The customer-facing "Mina sidor" portal, authenticated via BankID, enables applications, case management, seminar registration, and financial-support requests. A parallel employer portal supports employee registration into the transition agreement and provides the Rekryteringsservice — a recruitment matching channel that connects government employers (cited users include Försvarets Materielverk, Försäkringskassan, and Arbetsgivarverket) with candidates from Trygghetsstiftelsen's customer base, including academic and research-sector employees. Financial support products include Inkomstförstärkning (income supplement up to 30% of prior salary for 440-780 days) and A-kasseförstärkning (unemployment benefit supplement for high earners), alongside a layered study support stack (Kompletterande studiestöd, Förlängt studiestöd for those over 40, Kortvarigt studiestöd, and CSN-bound Yttrande).

The organization is a non-profit foundation with no disclosed parent company, no venture funding, and no public-market listing. It is funded entirely through contributions from employers covered by the state collective agreement; services are free to eligible individuals, and there is no per-customer pricing. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, with no disclosed revenue. The customer base is structurally concentrated in the Swedish public sector — agencies, universities, county administrative boards (Länsstyrelser), research institutions, and armed forces bodies — making the organization's revenue and caseload directly correlated to Swedish public-sector employment churn and policy decisions.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• TRR (Trygghetsrådet): Swedish transition organization for private-sector employees, funded via a parallel collective agreement model. Most directly comparable peer: same country, same outplacement/career transition mission, same collective-agreement funding structure, but covers private rather than state employers.
• TSL (Trygghetsstiftelsen för kommuner och regioner): Transition foundation for municipal and regional government employees in Sweden. Operates an analogous collective-agreement-funded outplacement model for a different public-sector segment, making it the closest functional mirror of Trygghetsstiftelsen's mandate.
• TFA (Tjänstemännens Trygghetsfond): Swedish transition fund for white-collar (tjänstemän) employees, providing support when employment ends. Directly comparable purpose (career transition and financial support), though broader in sectoral reach than Trygghetsstiftelsen.

Broad incumbents

• Right Management (ManpowerGroup): Global outplacement and career transition arm of ManpowerGroup. Comparable core service (outplacement, career coaching, talent development) but serves corporate clients worldwide rather than a single national collective agreement.
• LHH (Lee Hecht Harrison): Major global career transition and talent development provider under the Adecco Group. Comparable outplacement/coaching offerings and employer-sponsored delivery model, but operating at global scale rather than within a single national mandate.
• Randstad RiseSmart: Career transition and outplacement business of Randstad. Comparable outcome-driven outplacement and coaching model, with broader digital/AI tooling than traditional providers, but serves corporate rather than collective-agreement channels.
• Adecco Group: Global staffing and workforce solutions group with career transition exposure (via LHH) and broad public-sector recruitment. Comparable in career transition and recruitment matching but operates at significantly larger scale and across all employer types.
• Mercuri Urval: Nordic-headquartered executive search and talent advisory firm. Comparable in serving Nordic public-sector clients and providing career/coaching-related advisory, but focused on executive search rather than outplacement.

Others

• Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service): Sweden's national public employment agency. Tangentially comparable as a state-funded employment and job-matching service, but it operates as a universal public agency rather than a sector-specific outplacement/coaching provider.
• Coor Service Management: Nordic provider of facility and workplace services with exposure to public-sector workforce solutions. Loosely adjacent via shared Nordic public-sector client base, though not directly comparable on outplacement/coaching services.
