Quality-stamped data.
Thirty years of it.
Nyckeltalsinstitutet® is Heartpace’s quality stamp for HR data – collected, reviewed, and updated every year since 1996.
Founded 1996 · 800,000 employees in the database
“Some believe, some guess, some know. When it comes to how people are doing and how things are going, there is no shortage of people with opinions, but not nearly as many with the right insights. Nyckeltalsinstitutet sees what's going on, and has the right insights to help organisations do the right things in the right way. I'm an ambassador for Nyckeltalsinstitutet – I'm rooting for you.”

What the quality stamp guarantees
Nyckeltalsinstitutet® is not an opinion or a selection – it is a methodology. Every figure in the database is reported through the same process year after year, reviewed by analysts, and aggregated so it can be compared directly across industries and years.
- The same methodology for thirty years, which makes comparison over time reliable.
- 800,000 employees at 400+ organisations, private and public sector.
- Quantitative HR data only – no survey responses and no estimates.
- Aggregated and de-identified. No individual organisation can be read out of the material, and the database contains no personal data.
- Built on annual data since 1996 and updated continuously as new organisations report in – which is what lets one year be set against another at all.
Thirty years of industry statistics, since 1996.
800,000 employees at 400+ organisations.
That is the comparison your key figures are set against — and it updates continuously as organisations report in.
The foundation for three indices: AVI®, JÄMIX®, and Health Index™.
Benchmarking is included in the indices, and Excellent Arbetsgivare is the quality stamp awarded through the mappings.
Three indices, one method
AVI®, JÄMIX®, and Health Index™ are built the same way: nine key figures each, standardised definitions, the same collection every year. Only the subject differs.
That is why the figures can be compared — across years, across companies, and across industries. And it is not something a competitor can assemble after the fact: the definitions have been fixed since 1996, and a time series cannot be built retrospectively.

FAQ
Is Nyckeltalsinstitutet a separate company?
No. Heartpace acquired Nyckeltalsinstitutet® in 2025 – it is today Heartpace’s brand and quality stamp for the database, and the methodology and data are fully integrated into the platform.
Is my organisation's data in the comparisons?
Only if you actively participate. All comparison data is aggregated and de-identified.
How often is the data updated?
It is built on annual data and updated continuously as participating organisations report in, on definitions that have not changed since 1996.
Why keep the name Nyckeltalsinstitutet?
It is a well-established brand in the industry – the quality stamp that is already known and trusted.
Which labour market does the database cover?
Sweden, private and public sector. Thirty years of a single, consistently defined market is what makes the comparison precise; a wider average would compare things that are not comparable.
