Corporate culture supports digital transformation

Tampereen Energia aims to pioneer the energy sector, which is experiencing significant reforms. That is why the traditional 130-year-old company has completed reforms at all levels of its operations. Their strategy, processes and data systems are all being redesigned.

“To gain the most out of the investments in the reformation, our staff has been actively involved in the joint task. It is also important to make plans to reinforce our corporate culture to support the development work,” says Jussi Laitinen, the CEO of Tampereen Energia.

Designing the new and stronger corporate culture began with an initial survey consisting of an interview-based study and an online questionnaire. Co-operation and the development of trust and transparency were assigned as the foundation of the electric company’s corporate culture.

Facilitated workshops were arranged to discuss how these can be concretely incorporated into daily work. Participants could also engage in the discussions in break rooms and other staff facilities.

Everyone will become familiar with our corporate culture by attending orientation training sessions and through the allocation of responsibilities. Relevant issues were explored further in a roadshow covering the entire organisation and in high-quality content in internal communication channels.

Culture is built together, always evolving and never truly finished.
