Keys to a good life

The respondents said that volunteer work has a positive effect on mental well-being, social relationships, and a sense of belonging. And when social isolation becomes more important than being overweight […]
How to involve residents?
Leader funding creates 200 new sports facilities a year. The skate park opened in Jalasjärvi this summer is a model example of cooperation between the city, the third sector and residents. Consultation with residents is strongly enshrined in the new Municipal Act. Instead of an obligation, participation can also be viewed as an opportunity.

The first thing is to say
Customer orientation is a recurring theme in almost all organizations' speeches, but are we living out our values in reality? We asked our customers for their opinion. The results rose to a commendable level in all areas, with an overall customer service rating of nine. “Although we expected reasonably good feedback, the end result was still a nice surprise.
