Inter­na­tion­al suc­cess sto­ries

How to bal­ance social and work life at Radis­son Blu Hotel?

I don’t specif­i­cal­ly recruit peo­ple from dif­fer­ent back­grounds. I recruit peo­ple most­ly with their ser­vice mind and atti­tude”, says Gen­er­al Man­ag­er Tar­ja Kar­vola from Radis­son Blu.

At Radis­son Blu Hotel Oulu, they are proud to be part of an inter­na­tion­al hotel chain with over 20 nation­al­i­ties rep­re­sent­ed in their team. Their diverse work­force allows them to expe­ri­ence and appre­ci­ate dif­fer­ent cul­tures, mak­ing their work­place feel like home. One mem­ber of the mul­ti­cul­tur­al team is Ken­neth, who works as a chef:

“You have all dif­fer­ent eth­nic­i­ties here, so as soon as you come in, you are pret­ty much fam­i­ly right away.”

“TImegate’s CEO picked me up for the sta­tions and showed around”

“Hav­ing inter­na­tion­al tal­ents in our team is cru­cial for our busi­ness”, thinks Chief Finan­cial Offi­cer Maria Luukkainen from Timegate Instru­ments. ’

Timegate is a glob­al deep tech com­pa­ny, pro­vid­ing real-time process mon­i­tor­ing solu­tions for bio­pro­cess­ing indus­tries. One mem­ber of the mul­ti­cul­tur­al team is Vineeth, who works as a Senior R&D Engi­neer and Project Man­ag­er.

The ben­e­fits of the inter­na­tion­al work­place are mutu­al. It is an advan­tage to the com­pa­ny to have Eng­lish as a pri­ma­ry lan­guage, but the inter­na­tion­al tal­ents also broad­en the per­spec­tives of the team. For Vineeth the Finnish work­life appears to have low hier­ar­chy, which sup­ports flu­en­cy in work­ing process­es.
