Subodh Vaidya, HR Director

I'm Subodh Vaidya, working as an HR Director for Global Functions. My role includes supporting these global function heads in people topics. And when it comes to people topics, that starts with the recruitment of personnel - the talent - and ends with the retirement. So it covers the whole employment lifecycle.

I believe the important things in the work are if one is given freedom to really work the way one wants - obviously within the guidelines there, but yes, the freedom - flexibility, how you really want to do your work and also your ways of working is, and then the future challenges. Because if there are no challenges, obviously the work becomes monotonous.

Konecranes culture - if I have to describe it in a few words: firstly, it is inclusive, it is open, and what lies in the cracks, in the core, is trust in people. So there is a heavy reliance on trust in people, and that makes people really work freely, flexibly but also then give more than what is required to really deliver for the success.

If I see a unique opportunity; Konecranes has immense opportunities for individuals to really grow in his or her career. So you can actually work in different functions based on your aspirations. It's not only in the functions, but you can also work in different countries. So those things are really very, very good things in Konecranes.
