🗺 How to tackle vacation policies in a multi-cultural company? We celebrate the myriad of cultural and religious diversity within our team at Moder.app. We cherish the value that diversity brings to our team dynamics and creativity. While Finnish law provides certain holidays, we recognize the importance of accommodating the diverse needs of our employees. Recently, I came across an inspiring example from If Insurance, who addressed a similar challenge through comprehensive research and collaboration with trade unions. While we may not yet have the same level of influence, we are committed to finding meaningful solutions within our capacity. Putting our money where our mouth is, we announced a new approach to vacation policies. In addition to our standard six weeks of vacation, we encourage all employees to utilize their vacation days to observe and celebrate important cultural and religious holidays. We will prioritize these requests to ensure that every team member feels empowered to honor their traditions and beliefs without hesitation. I believe this is just the beginning of our journey toward greater inclusivity. I'd love to hear from you about how your organization promotes inclusivity in its vacation policies? #Inclusion #Diversity #EmployeeWellness

BEFORE YOU APPLY! 🤖 We are a growth company - this means that if you are looking for a cozy little box where everything is nicely packaged and handed to you on a silver platter this role is not for you. We don't believe in boxes. Sometimes we spin plates, reach across departments, and hustle to find solutions. We are all about building the future, breaking through bottlenecks and making things happen. However - with good onboarding process (really!) we will provide you a solid foundation to build on, all the support you need to grow, and a team that's ready to tackle anything that comes on our way. And cherry on the top: that famous "what-everyone-is-talking-about" digital marketing supporting your efforts (really really!).

TLDR - It looks as if Jorris Ekoloko has put his first real-client / real-world internship under his belt - barely 60 days post-certification. ******** In the words of John "Hannibal" Smith (masterfully played by George Peppard) "I love it when a plan comes together!" Now I don't want to be too ebullient here (because I would hate for Omdena Wilmington to lose our Team Lead to a salaried role at one of the many Fortune 100 companies just itching for the kind of creative, teachable, deadline-focused full stack developer / team lead that Jorris is quickly proving himself to be). So I'll shift over to focus on the generosity Rory Laitila embodies with his growing WilmingTech community that is rebuilding the startup / coding vibe that so many of us enjoyed in the early '10s and beyond. I'm also thrilled to see his recently released tool, ChartSQL impacting the planet just weeks after its release, including our latest team project with Omdena Wilmington with a high-visibility client I won't mention other than to thank Rotary Club of Wilmington, DE for platforming their executive director as a speaker this April. With ChartSQL and this project we are indeed using local *software* :) as well as local technologists for local good. Anyhow, when Rory & I reconnected just a couple months back we knew the key would be providing opportunities to support emerging junior level talent. We agreed that real world internships and apprenticeships with real client projects are increasingly critical pieces to proving one's capability and professionalism - especially for junior level knowledge workers, and especially in times of market volatility. Because it's not really about the technical skills, it's more about leading and developing oneself - and then others beyond the technical aspects of a job. This is what really demonstrates your value in an organization. Each real client project teaches the technical aspects automatically, and that's why Omdena Wilmington is primarily a leadership development organization that happens to be in the tech/data/coding space. This is what networking can look like on the other end. We have an incredible quantity and quality of local tech talent and I am thrilled to have had a small part. The best part of all of this is that we have already accumulated a handful of additional local client projects. And if there's tech/coding/data work that you need done for your nonprofit / small business there's still an opportunity to apply for a grant and get on our waitlist. Just DM me for the details and a link. And if you're in the tech pipeline yourself I highly suggest checking out the next WilmingTech event coming up soon. How about you? I'm 💯 certain Rory, Jorris and myself would like to see YOU in the center of this story, for it to be complete. Networking and connecting is the key. Just ask "who do you know who I should know?" And see how many others you can connect :)

Great to see former colleagues always in seminars. Greetings from RevTech Nordic 2024. Inspiring sales, marketing, CX & tech themes so far dealing with revenue strategies, AI, leveraging data and adapting new technologies. Now keynote about Linkedin personal branding, which gave me boost to be more active here again. Some interesting take-aways today: ⚠️Ai is making sales communication worse at the moment, because using it just to increase current activities often brings more spam than value for customers 💰Customer centric strategy is driving revenues, nowadays too much focus highlighting new sales activities & KPi’s versus loyalty and referrals of existing customers 🏆It’s much easier to double your business by doubling your conversation rate than traffic 🧐76% of the workforce is unprepared for digital adoption 👍Failing fast without shame is really important while testing new tech-solutions At the end 2 best AI-quotes, because that topic is included in almost every presentation: 🙏Master AI before it masters you 🫢AI won’t replace you but somebody using it will Thanks for the good day and various discussions!

🚀Employer branding date kick-off! Emil Stighäll, Employer Branding Manager at Grant Thornton Sweden 💜and I met over some ramen 🍜 (premiere for me, loved it!) yesterday, and wow, not only is his happy energy contagious, but he also generously shared so much of his experiences, knowledge and tips. Super greateful, especially for insights into how you work with recruitment marketing! Thanks Emil! 💭What has stayed on my mind since yesterday is.. 💭 ⚡️ the importance of getting clarity on budget and mandate - and making sure those are aligned with the expectations the organization will have on you ⚡️it helps to decide what your focus is - awareness? attraction? employee engagement? etc. You cannot do it all alone ⚡️it (also) makes sense to report into marketing - it doesn't have to be HR ⚡️it doesn't have to start with strategy, it could also (should??) start with activation, but it will require having mandate and budget ⚡️on-stage / off-stage when talking about corporate brand vs. employer brand Also, we discussed two thought-provoking questions: 🧐Are we focusing too much on too many ways of how to measure success in employer branding? (instead of taking action and measuring just a few KPIs) (is it because organizations still don't understand what EB is, so coming up with a bunch of KPIs creates that sense of security?) 🧐Are we putting too much emphasis on the importance of Employer Value Propositions? Are EVPs obsolete? (in the context of fast changes in society and in companies, global companies with local sites and multiple employee groups, and increased demands of authenticity) 🎧If you're a Swedish speaker, Emil also has a podcast! Attrahera Rekrytera Podden 🥳 Now, continuing my journey with 🧡Fiskars Group from a sunny Stockholm. #fiskarsgroup #employerbranding #digitalmarketing

According to this fresh AI report, the use of AI is largely viewed positively, especially in Finland, but almost half of organisations do not yet use AI at all and only 15% have an AI strategy. 🤖 Finland is a leader in AI in the Nordics, with 61% of Finnish organisations using AI, compared to 52% in Norway, 48% in Denmark and 45% in Sweden. Currently, AI is used in organizations especially to boost productivity and optimize operations: 43% of organizations use AI to automate processes and 42% to improve the quality of products or services. Almost half (49%) of Nordic organisations, especially small companies, do not yet use AI at all. According to the study, the biggest obstacle to adoption is uncertainty or lack of information about the potential applications of artificial intelligence.
