Workplace wellbeing and competence create a foundation for success
Competent, committed, and healthy employees are essential to Valio’s success. We view workplace wellbeing as a holistic concept comprising physical health, mental resilience, and continuous professional development. Most important, however, is that each employee feels that they are heard and valued for who they are.
Holistic support for working capacity
We proactively support the resilience and working capacity of Valio employees at different stages of life. Our wellbeing model is built on everyday actions that ensure a safe and sustainable career.
Mental wellbeing and low threshold
We offer immediate support for mental wellbeing and train our supervisors to recognize signs of mental strain at an early stage. In recognition of its long-term commitment to promoting mental health, Valio was awarded the “Mental Health Friendly Workplace” label by MIELI Mental Health Finland. We aim for an open culture where talking about resilience feels natural.
Active occupational health partnership
Our occupational health care service does more than just treat illnesses; it acts as a strategic partner in the day-to-day life of our work communities. The focus is on prevention and adapting work to suit each individual’s situation.
Everyday ergonomics and recovery
We ensure physical resilience by utilizing modern technology, job rotation, and ergonomic tools. We emphasize the importance of recovery as part of professional competence, especially in physically demanding jobs.
Continuous learning and an inclusive culture
A changing business environment requires the ability to learn new skills and draw on diverse perspectives. We believe that a diverse work community strengthens our ability to renew and supports sustainable success.
Development of competencies and career paths
We support the professional development of every Valio employee by offering a wide range of training programmes, coaching, and on-the-job learning opportunities.
Equality and an inclusive work environment
We are building an inclusive work culture, where everyone has the right to non-discriminatory and equal treatment regardless of their background. We want every Valio employee to feel they are a valued part of the work community.
Value-based leadership and safety
At the core of our leadership are shared values, a culture of open dialogue, and a coaching approach to work. It is based on respectful, solution-focused, inclusive, and goal-driven collaboration, which enables teams and the organization to harness the expertise and full potential of each individual. We put a culture of coaching leadership into practice through initiatives such as induction coaching and the Succeed as a supervisor coaching.
