In Finnish culture, managers listen to their employees, interact and value their employees opinions.
Adherence to schedules is valued and working days are well organized. Employees are encouraged to take a break from their work. Our working hours and holidays are clearly defined.
Many workplaces have good telecommuting opportunities or the possibility to use flexible working hours. This helps in combining work and family life.
The Finnish work culture emphasizes equality, flexibility and cooperation. Along with society, it also takes into account, for example, parental leave and aging.
I think at in Finland we are conscientious in our work. Many people, Me included them, put work before many other things. In Finland we can change our job many times during our working life. We have possibility go to school and study new occupation even as an adult, and it is not considered strange.
If we look at this from outside Finland, everything is fine! But…
age discriminationis a worrying feature. it might exclude a lot of good employees. Sometimes In Finnish working life we speak our ages, maybe we are too old or too young to change workplace. If you are over 50 years, you can’t change job becose you are so old! If you are young, you don’t have work experience. Work experience can only be gained by working. So, it would also be good for young people to get to work. Older workers have a lot of skills to learn a new job description quickly. The most important thing should be the attitude to work and the desire to learn new things instead of age.
I appreciate that in Finland we are equal at work.
Häme, best place of Finland
I live in Häme, my ancestry has lived here for hundreds of years. We who live here are called slow. And maybe we are. If something is broken and the repairman doesn't arrive, we can say this is Häme, it belongs to the issue.
If you like tell to people in Häme something, you must keep your mind this things: people from Häme value direct and clear communication and they may initially be reserved towards new people and ideas.
