Solutions for creating healthy workplaces – from individuals to the organizational level
A healthy workplace is not created by chance, but through planning. Increased workload from professional and personal life manifests as sick leaves. Although treating the symptoms may resolve acute issues, a healthier work environment is built on a more sustainable foundation by focusing on the sources of the workload. To achieve the most effective results, we must proactively solve these root causes that threaten the workplace. As a partner in the workplace, we help prioritize what is most important.
Anticipation through the most important
Our working life solutions tackle the factors that burden your work community, from individuals to the organizational level, where it has the most impact.
Services for mental well-being
The challenges of our time can be seen as growing mental health symptoms. Acute care is the most important thing for those who need it, and the easier help is available, the earlier problems can be tackled and work ability supported without even the first sick leave.
Physical work ability
According to the Finnish Centre of Pensions, musculoskeletal disorders are the most common reason for being on a disability pension. Maintaining physical ability to work as the working-age population ages requires a planned and proactive approach.
Management and work community development
Mental health challenges are a growing risk of work ability, but when the acute situation is under control, it is necessary to look at the bigger picture, from the reformulation of work to the management of the work ability, humanity and culture of the organization, which achieve the most far-reaching and preventive solutions.
Consultation for work ability management
Only with knowledge you increase health. The most effective work ability management needs a plan based on information to support it, so that measures can be targeted where they have the most impact.

Mental health-related sickness absences decreased significantly thanks to brief psychotherapy provided by occupational health services
The number of mental health-related sickness absences of Terveystalo’s occupational health customers decreased by approximately 40% as employees were offered brief psychotherapy as part of their occupational health care. This can be seen in the Terveystalo survey which monitored occupational health care customers' brief psychotherapy appointments and prescribed sickness absences between 2000 and 2022.
Low-threshold mental health services for better work ability
Mental health absenteeism among staff in the ELY Centres, TE Offices and KEHA Centre had increased and there was a need to address this risk quickly. Solutions to manage the mental stress of staff were sought through low-threshold mental wellbeing services and brief psychotherapy in occupational health, and the importance of mental wellbeing was emphasised internally in the organisational culture. Low-threshold wellbeing services are now well established, easy to find and with positive user experiences. In addition, there was a significant reduction in psychological symptoms among participants in brief psychotherapy and a corresponding increase in perceived psychological well-being.
