✨ "I’m looking for a man in finance... or at least one that isn’t stressed to the max!" ✨ In the fast-paced world of financial services, the stakes are high, and the pressure is constant. It's no surprise that workplace stress can lead to burnout, absenteeism, and high turnover. But here's the good news: companies that prioritise employee wellbeing see incredible returns, including: 💡 Improved retention and satisfaction. 📈 Higher productivity and focus. 🤝 A thriving company culture that attracts top talent. #FinancialServices #CorporateWellbeing #EmployeeEngagement #HRLeaders #FinanceIndustry#ImLookingForAManInFinance #WorkplaceCulture #ThrivingTeams #FinanceCareers #StressFreeWork

🌟 Building Trust and Excellence in the Nordics 🌟 We are over the moon having achieved the prestigious NordDEC certification, a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team at Kara Connect. As part of this milestone, our CEO and Founder, Tobba was featured in an interview, highlighting the impact and significance of this achievement.

We still believe that having a common Nordic set of evaluation criteria (#NordDEC) is beneficial for the Nordic citizens, the Nordic health care systems and the Nordic businesses – it will help strengthen a common Nordic brand and create a common Nordic market. It is therefore very interesting to read Tobba Vigfusdottir’s reflections from Kara Connect who was one of the finalists for this years’ Nordic Health App Award handed out by Nordic Innovation. #healthtech #healthapps #medtech #healthdata #Nordic #innovation Thordur Reynisson Olivia Rekman Freyr Hólm Ketilsson Anders Tunold-Hanssen  https://lnkd.in/dkPcP3A2

Ten days ago, I was invited to a lovely morning show (Segðu mér) hosted by Sigurlaug Margret on Icelandic Public Radio. It was personal, and of course, it was all in Icelandic. I talked about how Kara Connect was born and work and studies—and how urgent it is for all managers to consider how intelligent but stresseded #GenZ's are at work. We are #voting in Iceland next Saturday, and I am happy to say that most parties are aligned on promising increased funds and more mental health services for youth and children. https://lnkd.in/e2_3XyKM

👨🔧 International Men’s Day: Celebrating the Evolving Role of Men 👨💻 As societal expectations shift, more men are stepping up to share parenting responsibilities while continuing to excel in their careers. Flexible work arrangements and remote working have been a game changer for many fathers, allowing them to balance work and family life more effectivelyHowever, we still have work to do! Creating inclusive workplaces that support parenting responsibilities—regardless of gender—is essential for fostering equality and empowerment. Let’s celebrate the men breaking stereotypes and advocating for shared responsibilities at home and work. Together, we can build a future where everyone thrives. 🙌 Shout out to all the stay at home parents! #InternationalMensDay #WorkplaceEquality #Parenting #MentalHealth #DiversityAndInclusion

" 1 in 5 men don’t have a close friend to confide in. " This statistic, shared by Elliott Rae at a recent Platform55 event, hit me hard. It’s a reminder of the silent struggles men face, often carrying the invisible weight of expectations—the “Man Box " (where men are expected to be strong, successful, powerful, dominating, fearless, in control, and emotionless). I feel so fortunate to have two incredible men in my life, they embody what it means to be vulnerable, to embrace emotions, and to live authentically. They remind me it’s okay not to feel okay sometimes, and that simple truth makes all the difference. So, today on International Men’s Day, I have one request: To all the men out there, speak up, reach out, and connect. Call a friend and ask for their time and a listening ear. A small moment of connection can have an enormous impact and can help you build the habit of speaking up. If you’re unsure where to turn, know that support is available. We have an amazing network of wellbeing coaches and counsellors here to help—reach out. 💙 #internationalmensday #mentalhealthmatters
