Same building – new environment, new energy

In spring 2018, Statistics Finland moved into new facilities in its familiar building in the Kalasatama district of Helsinki. New ways of working were also introduced. We interviewed Director General Marjo Bruun, Senior Actuary Mari Rantanen and Project Manager Jussi Ritola about the change.

What is an activity-based environment? This is what it’s all about

An activity-based environment is much more than just a collection of various rooms and spaces. It represents a completely new way of doing and managing work.

What is indoor climate? This is what it’s all about

While one employee is pleased that the office is cool, another wraps her scarf more tightly around her neck. Someone gets a headache from bright light, while another person needs more light. An indoor climate that is pleasant for everyone is made up of many factors.
