Why work for S Group?

Every employee deserves good management

We have more than 40,000 employees. We are the largest private employer in Finland, with locations across the country, from Hanko in the south to Inari in the north.

Job satisfaction is important to us. Our strengths lie in management and performance in particular. We have Group-wide leadership promises: I Dare, I Appreciate and I Do. The purpose of these promises is to ensure good supervisory work and management for everyone and further develop the Group’s management culture.

Johtamislupaukset ENG

Our employees work together for our customers. We reward good and profitable performance, and all our employees are covered by a performance-based pay system.

Our intention is to enable all employees to earn their primary income by working for the Group, if they so wish. Although the majority of employees still value full-time work, part-time work is particularly popular among people aged under 25, as well as employees nearing retirement. We offer opportunities for growth and development. We offer coaching for salespeople, experts, supervisors and managers through the Jollas Institute.

Studies show that employees enjoy working here

Our annual working community survey provides us with valuable feedback from our personnel. Our job satisfaction is high, and we do well in various categories in Eezy Flow’s annual competition for the most inspiring workplaces in Finland. All our cooperatives received an honourable mention in the 2021 competition for the most inspiring workplaces in Finland for their excellent job satisfaction results. In the large company category, our cooperatives were ranked first, second and third in 2021.

The second most ideal employer in the commercial sector

In Universum’s 2022 survey, professionals in the commercial sector selected us as the second most ideal employer! We are also the most ideal employer in our sector.

A responsible workplace

We have been the main partner of the Oikotie Responsible Summer Job campaign for several years, were the main partner of the Responsible Employer campaign in 2021, and will be the main partner of the Responsible Workplace community in the future. We are committed to complying with the community’s seven principles of responsibility:

We respect the candidate
We provide proper orientation for the job
Our supervisors exist for the employees
We provide meaningful work that fosters development
We address unequal treatment right away
We take care of employee wellbeing
We pay a fair salary

Our cooperatives also succeed well in the annual Responsible Summer Job survey.
