Our personnel are a valuable asset for us, and our employees are important to us. Luhta Sporswear Company employs around 1,000 experts, each of whom contributes to the growth and success of our company. Our culture is based on our values and a good employee experience. Occupational safety, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion are at the core of what we do. Meaningful work and strong team spirit are valued at our workplace. Each of us has an important role to play as part of the team we belong to, and we respect one another. The professionalism of our teams is best described by strong competence, innovation and endless enthusiasm. We are aware that we are a major employer in the Finnish textile industry, and we want to contribute to the continuous professional development of our employees.
Personnel wellbeing
We recognize that committed, content and competent personnel are key to maintaining our competitiveness in an ever-changing environment. Our goal is that our mission “We inspire an active and healthy lifestyle from one generation to another” is also reflected within our company and is part of our HR policy. In the future, we want to do more to encourage and inspire our personnel to engage in wellbeing activities both at work and in their free time. We
have taken a number of concrete steps to improve wellbeing, working capacity and competence. We use the Siqni employee survey to identify and track what our employees think is meaningful and how these important choices are implemented in our company. The survey enables us to increase our understanding of our employees and to target development measures for our work community. Through various employee initiatives, like the introduction of a wellbeing committee, we have engaged every Luhta employee to take better care of their own wellbeing and that of their colleagues.
