CASE: Continuous Attention to Well-Being at Olvi

Olvi actively invests in well-being at work. Implemented in 2017 and 2018, the Well-being at Olvi project sought to create effective and permanent ways for Olvi to maintain its employees’ well-being and working capacity. 98% of employees participated to this project that was implemented in cooperation with Ilmarinen, Iisalmen työterveysasema and Vetrea.

During the project, Olvi’s employees attended lectures and workshops for practical tips on improving well-being. Olvi employees’ energy levels and coping at work were studied during the first phase of the project. The second phase focused on maintaining and developing personal competence. During the final phase, Olvi’s employees improved their workplace, interaction and communication skills through the Cooperation game.

Also Part of the Development of Supervisory and Expert Work

“We received a great deal of positive feedback on the project. Four key well-being factors were identified during the project: I know, I know how, I can, and I want to. These have been applied to planning performance based and development reviews, for example,” says Anne Mäntyaho, HR Manager at Olvi.

In 2019 and 2020, the Well-being at Olvi theme have been and will be applied to the development of supervisory and expert work. The goal is to provide Olvi’s more than 50 supervisors and experts with new ideas for the development of their personal and the workplace community’s well-being. The project focuses on identifying personal ways of working, as well as individual motivation levels and development goals.
