Quintus has been very impressed with Communicaid's ability to understand and respond to the needs of employees and their families when being assigned or seconded to overseas locations or into the UK.
Annie Panton, Director, Quintus Consultants (UK)Communicaid’s Living & Working in Finland courses are designed to respond to the needs of international assignees by providing practical information and advice on the various aspects of living and working in Finland. Delegates will also gain an improved understanding of the underlying elements that shape Finnish culture inside and outside the workplace which will help ensure a successful international assignment in Finland.
Finland overcame Russian occupation to become a nation with one of the highest GDP’s in Europe. Known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Lakes’, Finland is famed for its saunas, landscape and high standard of living. Finns place a heavy emphasis on equality, a concept that can be seen in the professional environment as well as in everyday life. Finland was the first country in Europe to give women voting rights and this sense of egalitarianism continues to prevail in modern day Finnish culture. However, as Finns are direct communicators and value individualism, this complex culture can often be surprising to foreign visitors. These cultural differences can make an international assignment in Finland quite challenging. A thorough understanding of Finnish social and business culture will ensure that your experience living and working in Finland is successful.
