The past year has been a challenging one for companies globally . Not many enterprises could say the experience has been positive , as massive upheavals have seen numerous businesses struggle to ride the tidal wave of change .
However , managing the digital transition , new technology and creating a culture of learning and transparency , is something that Kirsi Kantele , HR Director of Telia Inmics- Nebula , embraces .
Despite the challenges due to COVID- 19 , she believes the digital transformation of Telia Inmics-Nebula was not only , in her words , ‘ surprisingly straightforward ’ but has also brought benefits to staff , customers and the working environment .
Kantele , who ’ s strong background in employment law and management has provided her with essential tools for her profession , explains , “ I think that many lawyers are quite analytical and structured in their approach and I guess that applies to me as well . I have a strong background in legal HR which is how I started my career in Telia as an employment counsel - so I ’ m very familiar with the legal issues in the HR field .”
It is this pragmatic and clear-headed stance that has contributed to the company ’ s digital transition being such a success , although Kantele points out that prior to the pandemic , Telia Inmics-Nebula was already well developed in terms of a flexible working environment .
