Meaningful work in our agile operating culture

Our work at OP Pohjola is meaningful. We offer our employees a chance to join our workplace community that is committed to the society, stays closely in tune with its time and truly lives up to its values. Each working day means working for a better Finland.

In recent years, we have undergone a significant change in terms of mindset and operating culture. The aim of the change has been to improve employee experience, customer experience, as well as productivity and quality. The creation of customer value, self-directed multidisciplinary teams, our capacity for renewal and continuous improvement, and learning are at the core of our agile working culture.

We want to be Finland's leading and most attractive financial-sector employer with a corporate culture driven by our core values: people first, responsibility and succeeding together. These core values have enabled our cooperative success through decades and they will also form the cornerstone of our future corporate culture. For us, wellbeing is not just about money - it's also about the kind of world we live and grow in.
