We get together on site and increasingly virtually. Personnel development is supported by appraisal discussions and regular sparring reviews. Thanks to developing practices related to flexible work and remote working, our employees feel confident about working virtually.  

Meaningfulness and Well-being through Volunteering

At our company, a responsible approach is reflected in concrete actions in everyday life – we also do volunteer work during working hours. We strongly believe that social responsibility belongs to everyone and that helping is part of our shared responsibility for collective well-being. At Pohjolan Voima, we strive to develop and strengthen social responsibility in our operations even more. Our goal is for helping to become an established practice and part of our corporate culture. Doing volunteer work during working hours is an opportunity to make an impact and do good together.

We collaborate with Commu and kicked off volunteering in Oulu and Helsinki with well-being days organized by Commu.

A safe workplace for everyone  

We have consistently been developing occupational safety. We believe that when people actively take occupational safety into account, the number of risks and incidents decreases. 

  • The number of occupational safety observations is one of our performance indicators.  
  • Constant safety training and briefings are organised.  
  • Subcontractors and visitors are also familiarised with the safety rules at each plant. 
  • Our employees have been working remotely for years if their tasks have allowed it. In addition, we have come up with solutions to make remote working safe and prepared for any accidents by expanding our insurance coverage, for example.  

More detailed indicators about our personnel are included in our Annual Report.
