The City of Helsinki’s occupational health to transfer to Mehiläinen at the end of the year

"With this change, we want to improve the well-being of our staff and the availability of occupational health services, as well as to support work ability as systematically and effectively as possible. We want to ensure that our employees receive high-quality and more versatile occupational health services and modern tools," says Petri Lumijärvi, HR Director at the City of Helsinki.

The cooperation with Mehiläinen will improve the accessibility of the occupational health services and enhance digital services. Supervisors also receive new types of services to support their own work.

"We are extremely pleased with the new cooperation with the City of Helsinki and we grateful for their trust in us. Coping at work, improved work ability throughout working life and extending careers are important goals at the level of the whole society. The City of Helsinki is the largest employer in Finland, and we want to promote these goals with the city through our new cooperation," says Antti Miettinen, Director of Working Life Services at Mehiläinen.

Currently, Occupational Health Helsinki is responsible for the occupational health care of approximately 37,500 employees of the City of Helsinki. In connection with the transition, the employees of Occupational Health Helsinki will transfer to Mehiläinen as old employees. Occupational Health Helsinki continues to serve the staff normally until the transition.

Mehiläinen is the largest private operator in the Finnish health and social services sector. Mehiläinen Working Life Services is a strong innovator in occupational health, offering modern occupational health and wellbeing services management, staff and the work community.
