Mehiläinen GroupX

About The Company

Mehiläinen’s story is part of Finland’s story. At the turn of the 20th century, Finnish society, science and art started to become more Finnish. However, there was no Finnish-language hospital or medical vocabulary yet. A medical society, Duodecim, was founded for this purpose, with the aim of establishing the Finnish language in health care. Mehiläinen was founded 1909 by four doctors. Today, 114-year-old Mehiläinen is a rapidly developing and growing leader in the industry especially in Nordic region, but also in whole Europe. Mehiläinen invests in the possibilities of digitalisation and the effectiveness and quality of care in all its business areas. Mehiläinen is a well-known and highly valued private provider of social and healthcare services, offering comprehensive high-quality services in Finland and internationally. In order to grow and develop while maintaining a high standard of service, Mehiläinen needs competent, committed professionals. The professionals employed by Mehiläinen in a variety of jobs have a broad educational background. The youngest employees are under 20 years old, while the most experienced are in their 70s.
It is important for us to continuously develop our personnel’s competence. Most of the training provided by Mehiläinen is further or continuing vocational education or other professional training. Our work community is multifarious with respect to job descriptions and diversity of the personnel.
Mehiläinen is a broad-minded employer and treats its staff equally – this is also what our employees say. We want to be a work community in which differences between people and the associated strengths are appreciated. We want to ensure a good employee experience every day. In 2023, Mehiläinen employed a total of over 37,000 employees and private practitioners. Our full-time staff grew by 6 percent from the previous year, with an average of 14,200 employees.
The need for social and health care professionals will increase significantly within the next few years. This means that recruitment will become more challenging, which can also be seen in Mehiläinen’s operating environment. As a large, rapidly growing operator, Mehiläinen is excellently positioned to offer good jobs for professionals. We will continue to develop further training, coaching, internal career path opportunities and different feedback channels.
