Occupational health psychologist's tips for a workplace wellbeing revolution
Fortunately, the stigma associated with mental health challenges is receding. In addition to the fact that employers are now more strongly directed to take care of the psychosocial stress, mental health challenges are dared to be talked about more openly and people know how to seek help for them. This is also clear from Terveystalo's statistics, where visits related to both anxiety disorders and depression have increased throughout the 2020s. Sari Nuikki, Terveystalo's leading occupational health psychologist, explains how mental well-being can be supported in the workplace with small everyday actions.

AI in the future of working life
Generative AI, such as Chat GPT, has brought AI into a new light recently. In particular, its impact on working life has been a topic of discussion in Finland and around the world over the past year. Ilari Richardt, Director of Digital Services at Terveystalo, shared his views on the opportunities AI brings at Terveystalo's event "Tulevaisuuden työelämän tekijät".
In the future, technology is an enabler and team problem-solving skills a way to success
We live in an era of uncertainty and rapid technological development. Generative AI will be on everyone's radar in 2023, and organisations are wondering how AI will change the way they work and do things. The rapid evolution of technology poses challenges, but at the same time creates opportunities. At Terveystalo's Future Workplace Makers event, Maria Ritola, technology influencer and founder of Iris.ai, shared her insights on how to build a good working life and harness technology to help people do their jobs.
Without systematicity and systemicity, foresight lacks depth
Only by identifying alternative futures and the drivers of change that influence them can we make choices for the future we want. By being an active player, we become the architects of the future, rather than its victims. At Terveystalo's event "Tulevaisuuden Työelämän Tekijät", futurist Minna Koskelo highlighted the drivers of change that all organisations should be aware of.
