How about trust?

I have followed the revision of the Finnish Working Hours Act with great interest. The need for this reform is apparent and, therefore, it was quite unfortunate that the working group tasked with it never reached a conclusion, writes Tiina Miettinen, Fingrid’s Senior Vice President, HR and communications, in her blog posting.

The myth of the green consumer

One of the goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to “by 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.” Consumers are being asked to take action to prevent climate change around the world. Large problems are solved by small acts on the part of consumers. Information and the right attitudes turn into responsible choices in a trivial way. I like to call this kind of wishful thinking the myth of the green consumer.

Inspiration energises the working community

The change in work is now on everyone’s lips. Repeatable, routine work is increasingly being transferred to machines and algorithms. Many challenging tasks, such as cancer diagnoses, will soon be better made by artificial intelligence than human beings. Any remaining work will involve either creative expertise or human interaction – for the time being, these tasks are difficult to replace with machines.
