Kurikka Timber Oy

Kurikka Timber wants to support the local community, especially its youth. This year, we are proud to be part of Jaakko’s journey as he plays ice hockey for Suolahti Urho’s first team. Jaakko is not only a promising player but also a great example of what local commitment and support can achieve. In our latest video, we take a glimpse into the stories of both Jaakko and his father, Jari. Jari has worked at Kurikka Timber as a wheel loader operator for over nine years and is a professional in his field. He shares his thoughts on the importance of companies supporting young people in achieving their goals, whether in competitive sports or hobbies. Thank you, Jaakko and Jari, for your inspiring words – we are proud to share this journey with you!

Childrens’s Day at Work 2024: Welcome to an introduction to working life! Today, our office was buzzing with excitement, laughter, and a little bit of nervous energy. 🌟 Children’s Day at Work gave children the chance to peek into the world of work and finally see what their parents are up to “at the work” – while giving us adults the opportunity to see our jobs through fresh eyes. Kids have a unique way of asking the questions we may have stopped asking ourselves: “Why do you do it this way?” or “Couldn’t this be more fun?” 🌟 Their curiosity and creativity reminded us that there are always different ways to look at things – and that sometimes the simplest solution is the best. During the day: 🔍 The children explored the workplace environment 💡 They offered fresh ideas and thought-provoking questions 🤝 Together, we learned the value of pausing to wonder and reflect Days like this are not only fun but also help build bridges across generations. Who knows – among these young visitors, we might just have met future colleagues, leaders, and innovators! ✨ Thank you to everyone who participated, especially Assi, Onni, Elli and Lennu, for making this day so special. 🖍️🎨📊 #LapsetMukaanTöihin

During the visit, we presented our company's operations, showcasing our growth, commitment to sustainability, use of domestic wood raw materials, and ongoing process development. We also discussed the challenges related to workforce availability and the significance of our industry for employment and export revenue - especially as wood, as a material, increasingly aligns with sustainability demands. It’s encouraging to see that the importance of supporting an innovative and sustainable wood industry is understood at the government level.

Employee engagement is a key factor in Kurikka Timber's success and competitiveness. An engaged workforce not only performs the basic tasks of their job, but actively participates in the development and growth of the company. Engagement has a direct impact on productivity, quality of work and well-being at work, as well as reducing absenteeism and turnover. Ultimately, workforce engagement is a whole, based on trust, openness and cooperation between the employee and the organisation. When employees feel part of something meaningful, their motivation increases. This not only improves work performance, but also creates a positive work environment in which both employees and the company can thrive.

Our employees are crucial for tackling our daily challenges. Their dedication, creativity, and hard work help us surpass customer expectations and reach our goals. Everyone's contribution matters, and each person strengthens our team. We aim to create an environment where everyone feels valued and heard. We invest in continuous learning and development because we believe that a healthy and motivated workforce is the cornerstone of our success.

As an employer, we have a responsibility to take care of the well-being and safety of our employees, which is why we actively invest in the prevention and management of psychosocial stress. Our goal is to create a work environment where every employee can feel safe, valued, and motivated. In the latest measurement by the Occupational safety and Health Administration authority, the level of psychosocial stress in our workplace is 1.64. This result is excellent and gives confidence that the actions we are taking for our staff are effective. This is a good basis for moving forward. The scale is 1-5. 1 is "not stressed at all" and 5 is "very stressed".
