Karelia University of Applied Sciences has been awarded the Hyvän mielen työpaikka® (Wellbeing at Work) label. The label demonstrates a commitment to supporting mental health in the workplace and to developing a work culture that promotes overall wellbeing.
The Hyvän mielen työpaikka® (Wellbeing at Work) label is granted to organisations that actively support their staff’s mental health, resilience, and smooth everyday working life. Key elements include fostering an open atmosphere and ensuring that there are ways to recognise and address workload and wellbeing-related issues at an early stage.
In practice, this means investing in areas such as good leadership, effective collaboration, and creating a work environment where it is natural to discuss topics related to wellbeing and coping at work.
The label is valid for one year at a time and is based on three core pillars. For each year, development targets are defined to ensure that support for mental health in the workplace is advanced in a systematic and continuous way.
