How to improve health and well-being at the office?
To invest in the well-being of the employees while creating the best possible working environment is a natural part of the operations and culture at Svea Ekonomi.
A healthy group of employees is what enables the success of the company so focusing on the wellbeing of the professionals has become an important factor for the company.
When Svea Ekonomi moved to their new premises there was therefore no question about taking every detail into account when planning the new office. The new and fresh premises, located in Helsinki, were designed by a professional of workplace design and management in the Nordic region, the leading consulting and design agency Workspace.
"After one hour the room was an unenjoyable place to spend time in, with Naava the situation is completely different. Now the air stays fresh during our meetings!"
The efforts in creating the best possible workplace can clearly be seen as Svea Ekonomi has been ranked high among the best places to work by the Great Place to Work institution, already five years in a row.
In addition to the nominations, the efforts made by the company can also been seen when looking at the great atmosphere at the office and the enhanced productivity level that they have managed to achieve.
Better meetings in better air
When planning their new office, Svea Ekonomi wished for a green wall to, not only bring a fresh touch to their premises, but also to keep the air fresh. Naava smart green wall became the clear choice for that purpose because of its unique air purification technology. The research results of Naava’s benefits further supported Svea’s choice of freshening up their premises with the help of Naava.
“Before installing Naava in our meeting room we had problems with bad air quality during longer meetings. After one hour the room was an unenjoyable place to spend time in, with Naava the situation is completely different. Now the air stays fresh during our meetings!,” says Jukka Rytkönen, Head of Finance at Svea Ekonomi Finland.
“The smart green wall has made our life after the renovation a lot easier. The odours of new carpeting and other surfaces have not disturbed us after we got Naava.”
The placement of the Naavas at Svea Ekonomi were strategically planned so that both the employees and customers would have a chance to enjoy the fresh air. The bigger meeting room is now a fresh oasis thanks to the Naava Custom green wall and the smaller meeting room got a Naava One.
A fresher life after a renovation
The new premises of Svea Ekonomi were entirely renovated. After a renovation, the cocktail of chemicals the renovation leaves behind, has a negative impact on the quality of the indoor air. With the new Naavas in the building however, Svea noticed that the green walls have an ability to neutralize the odours.
“The smart green wall has made our life after the renovation a lot easier. The odours of new carpeting and other surfaces have not disturbed us after we got Naava,” says Rytkönen.
The unique combination of artificial intelligence and nature’s own purifying air process has caught the interest of the employees at Svea Ekonomi.
“At first sight, some of our employees thought Naava was just a typical green wall but after having heard about the technology and intelligence it contains and having sensed the freshness of the indoor air, they have gotten really excited about it," says Rytkönen.
