Controversy

In October 2025, Danish newspaper Politiken reported that Peter Beier faced criticism for using video surveillance to monitor and reprimand employees. Former staff described the constant monitoring as creating a stressful and psychologically harmful work environment, with one employee saying they were "about to completely break down".^[3] Experts quoted in the article described the practice as invasive and contrary to good management and workplace ethics.^[3]
