Located in the heart of Seinäjoki, the station area is currently under construction to become one of Finland's most spectacular and busiest hubs for public transport and people on the move. More than two million passengers pass through the station each year.

Seinäjoki railway station will return to its original location and the station area will become an integral part of the city centre. Sustainable choices based on the life-cycle concept underpin the visually interesting block structure designed by the architect.

YIT has signed a lease on locating Eezy Plc’s operations in the Maistraatinportti office building in the Länsi-Pasila district of Helsinki. The building will be fully renovated, including its facade. The current functions of Eezy’s head office will be relocated to the new modern premises of approximately 4,130 m2 in Maistraatinportti once the renovation is complete in September 2023.

Not long ago, all of the employees coming to the office in the morning was how a normal day began. That “old normal” no longer exists. According to YIT’s Ilkka Tomperi, even hybrid work may turn out to be only an intermediate phase in a trend that leads to the complete liberation of knowledge work. This will have a significant impact on management and leadership practices.

Construction legislation is changing, and low-carbon construction is given more priority. Buildings should be sustainable, low-carbon and adaptable. Material emissions can be minimised by saving the existing structures.

YIT’s Smart Building concept is leading the construction industry towards more open data and standard operating methods that will help to bring the benefits of smart buildings to property owners, maintenance and, above all, to users.

How to lead people when knowledge work is done partly at the office and partly from home? How to harness the ways of action, premises and technologies to support employee well-being and, at the same time, enable efficient business?

The meaningfulness of work goes hand in hand with the common values shared by the employee and the organisation. However, you do not get far with solemn declarations and idealistic ardour – what is more important is how values are reflected in the everyday life at the workplace.
