At the University of Eastern Finland, we see well-being at work as a cross-cutting principle. Well-being at work is not just an individual act or condition. Well-being at work is created in everyday life, by working together and by continuously developing the working conditions. It is the experience of both the individual and the community. Well-being at work is created together.
We want to support our community's well-being at work through good management, so we regularly train and coach our supervisors. With the help of a wealth of personnel training and career models, we create opportunities for continuous competence development and ensure that our organisation is capable of reform and change. For us, it is important that you can work productively in a motivated manner so that your work and other life are in balance.
We recognise participation and inclusion as factors essential to well-being at work. We are continuously developing our work community’s communications and smooth processes and ensure the transparency of decision-making. Well-being at work is something we do every day.
