This is a sample introduction
You don't have to, nor should you, do everything yourself, says Jan-Peter Hautaniemi, COO of Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt.
Finns are used to ironing their own shirts, changing their own car tires, and renovating their homes. However, there is a shift in the air, as more and more people now prefer to spend their time on other things, getting their cars washed, ordering home cleaning, or even using an interior designer.
In the workplace, the do-it-yourself mentality varies from coffee-making shifts to loading the dishwasher, and I have even heard of a CEO who voluntarily cleans their company's premises. They are likely an exception, however, as few people arriving at the office want to 'just incidentally' take out the trash and wipe the dust – and that is a good thing.
From an Excel perspective, professional time in the workplace should not be spent on secondary tasks.
From an Excel perspective, professional time in the workplace should not be spent on secondary tasks. Cleaning and even loading the dishwasher comes with a multiple price tag if done by a top-tier programmer instead of a cleaner – and the result might even reveal who was at work.
Teknologiakiinteistöissä olemme vieneet ajatuksen palvelukulttuurista vielä askelta pidemmälle. Meidän asiakkaanamme organisaatioiden ei tarvitse käyttää aikaa edes siivouksesta sopimiseen tai postin noutamiseen, sillä me hoidamme kaiken – ellei asiakasyrityksestä sitten nimenomaan satu löytymään sitä yli-innokasta toimitusjohtajaa, joka haluaa aloittaa aamunsa imuroinnilla. Toki sekin meillä onnistuu, ja voimme tarvittaessa tuoda paikalle imurinkin.
