Working capacity and employees well-being are promoted in many ways at Sampo Bank. Sampo Bank aims to be an interesting employer for existing and new employees alike.
Sampo Bank's network has expanded rapidly in recent years. We currently have 126 branches, and more are planned for the upcoming years. The demand for labour remains high, and Sampo Bank wants to care for its competent employees and hold on to them.
In addition to the meaningfulness and challenging nature of work, or several years now we have paid attention to promoting working capacity and personnel well-being. The health of employees older than 35 years is monitored through medical examinations every 5 years. Well-being at work is also monitored through annual personnel surveys.
Danske Bank Group's operating models also include an annual performance and appraisal discussion that means more than filling up official forms. Supervisors are responsible for creating a functional work environment and the necessary facilities, and for promoting and monitoring issues for development. Equality issues have been an important part of good HR management and a functional work environment for many years. Co-operation bodies and an open culture for discussion support the resolution of important and topical issues.
The ageing of Finland's population is reflected in Sampo Bank's clients as well as personnel. Ageing means a growing number of people who are no longer actively involved in working life but who are in good enough health to continue an active lifestyle in other areas. The bank's experts strive to assist with the change, while attention is paid to the well-being of our experts and the recruitment of new professionals.
The promotion of health simultaneously with productivity sometimes requires the employer to take active measures. The 'Smokefree Sampo' campaign started in 2006. Sampo Bank provides support for employees who quit smoking through discussions, courses and nicotine replacement therapy. At the same time, it is expected that smokers smoke on their own time, not during working hours.
Sampo Bank actively supports its employees' educational efforts.
