How to be an attractive workplace especially for women working in tech roles? This morning, we asked this question from the women themselves! We had insightful discussions in our kickoff event, where about 30 women working in tech roles at Alma Media, gathered together to network and share ideas. According to the discussions, Alma is seen as a good employer for women at least for the following reasons: 🙏 Excellent work-life balance 💜Friendly culture, where you can be yourself 👚 You can come to the office wearing a hoodie and woolen socks. Or suit and heels if that’s more you! 💪🏻 Already now, we have a good amount of women working in tech(ish) roles and 45% of all our managers in Finland are women. PS. Men were welcome too, but no one was brave enough to join (yet!) 😏 The name of our internal network is inspired by Women in Tech Finland, whose member we are. Our mutual goal is to foster a more diverse and inclusive tech industry, and while gender is not everything, it’s a starting point.

🎉 Alma Influencer announcement! 🎉 Congrats to Sujan Raj Shrestha, who has been nominated as our Influencer of the Month! 🏆 🌟 Sujan joined Alma Media through our popular Developer & Designer Program last year. Now he works permanently as Junior Software Developer in Alma’s ICT team 💻 “While exploring job opportunities in Finland, I already knew and used many of Alma’s products, like Iltalehti, NettiAuto, VuokraOvi, and Jobly. I was impressed by how user-friendly those platforms are, so when I came across the Alma Developer & Designer Program, it immediately caught my attention”, tells Sujan. Sujan has been actively involved in different kinds of Employer Branding activities, like student fairs, articles and brand images. Therefore, he was a clear choice for our next Influencer! 💎 “I love getting involved in EB and extra activities because they align with my passion for helping others and giving back. I’ve been volunteering for years, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy—it allows me to make a positive impact while connecting with others”, says Sujan. 🙏🏻 How did Sujan end up in Finland?
