We strive for an excellent employee experience
Our strategic goal is to be an attractive employer. We determinedly promote the competence and work ability of our personnel and support in healthy lifestyles.
During the recent years strengthening of the common corporate culture, development of common practices and working on values has been our priority. We also updated the roadmap of the Food Professionals project so that one of the new primary goals for 2022–2025 is to support diversity and inclusion.
Diversity and inclusion
In 2021 we updated the roadmap of the Food Professionals project in line with the new objectives. One of the new primary goals for 2022–2025 is to support diversity and inclusion, and to achieve this, we have launched work to create a Diversity & Inclusion Plan.
This is a very broad topic, and our first step is to define, together, what we, at Raisio, mean by diversity and inclusion. Only then can we move forward with drawing up a plan and defining objectives. The D&I definition and plan are among our key objectives for 2022.
Walk the talk
In 2021, we started a programme ‘Walk the Talk’ with the aim of strengthening our shared, new corporate culture and developing common ways of working to support our strategy in practice. The four-month programme was launched in November 2021 and run until the end of March 2022.
Brave, enthusiastic and fair-minded Raisio employees were recruited to the programme’s working groups. The selected employees formed three change groups, together with the members of the Executive Committee. Each change group was given a theme related to Raisio’s strategy, values and identified needs for change to work on.
During the project, the change groups met in a total of four different workshops, between which all employees and external stakeholders were involved in the work. The tasks of the change groups included identifying any needs for change in working practices, brainstorming new ways to achieve success, testing success methods with the support of all employees and planning how to put the new success methods into practice.
Learning on food and nutrition in the form of podcasts
One of our goals is to support our employees’ knowledge of healthy nutrition and lifestyle. Since the summer of 2020, our Finnish-speaking employees have also received information on food and nutrition in the form of podcasts. The Puolikarkea podcast is the Raisio’s internal podcast series that provides the listeners with the knowledge and expertise of our specialists.
Inspired by the Finnish podcast series, we also launched an English-language podcast mini-series called Nutri-chats in 2021. It discusses nutrition topics related to Raisio and its products and, thereby, increases our employees’ understanding of the episodes’ themes in terms of diet and health.
