From Document Support to Sparring Partner: How Trosvik Uses Lawai in HR
Anneli Romberg is HR Manager at Trosvik Maritime in Brevik, a company with around 90 employees. As the only HR resource in the organization, she needs tools that can provide reliable support in a busy workday with many responsibilities and frequent needs for quick clarifications.
For her, Lawai has become a natural part of the daily workflow.
– I use Lawai as a legal advisor. It’s just a keystroke away, so it’s super smart.
Where she previously sought legal assistance only after something had happened, she now uses Lawai proactively — to ensure things are done correctly from the start. This gives her both confidence and efficiency.
– Before, I used Lawai after the fact. Now I use it in advance.
From Simple Questions to Complex Assessments
Over time, Anneli has also developed the way she frames her questions. By taking the time to describe the situation in detail, she receives more relevant and concrete answers — often structured in tables or with suggestions for next steps.
– I’ve also become much better at asking questions, so now I use Lawai as a discussion and sparring partner. I share my ideas, describe them carefully, and then I get strong answers back, for example in table format from Lawai, which are great to build on.
She uses Lawai for everything from employment contracts and internal documents to employee communications and assessments linked to organizational changes and training. Instead of spending valuable time searching through legislation and guidelines, she gets precise suggestions and ready-to-use drafts. The result is saved time and assured quality.
Support When You’re Alone
Like many HR professionals in small and medium-sized companies, Anneli carries the full professional responsibility by herself. That makes it especially valuable to have an accessible partner who can provide expert support whenever needed.
– I think there are many more like me who feel a bit alone in their HR role. Not all companies have an HR department to lean on. It can feel lonely. Having a collaborative partner like this, who’s always accessible... That’s worth its weight in gold!
Don’t Hesitate — Just Get Started
When asked what she would say to a colleague considering Lawai, Anneli is clear:
– “Just try it. There’s even a trial period... Don’t hesitate! By all means, just go for it — that’s my message to others.”
