Tuntityön sijaan asiakkaat maksavat palvelukokonaisuuksista ja lisäarvosta. Kun työnteon fokus on asiakkaan bisneksessä ja juridiikan soveltamisessa siihen, vaaditaan juristilta virkeät ja terävät aivot. Siksi Fondialla on rakennettu tinkimättömästi kulttuuria, jossa työmäärät pysyvät normaalin rajoissa ja kompentensseja ja työtapoja kehitetään jatkuvasti. Asiakkaat saavat parasta palvelua ja Fondiaanit saavat elää hyvää ja tasapainoista elämää. Mikä oman alan disruptorin roolissa on ollut haasteellisinta?

Entä miten varmistetaan, että samalla toimitaan edelleen joukkueena ja kuljetaan samaan suuntaan? Fingridin Senior Vice President, HR and communications Tiina Miettinen kävi Future Workplaces -podcastissa Monan vieraana keskustelemassa näistä teemoista.
