Pandemic response
The pandemic has shown us two things: 1. Teamwork can be successful virtually. 2. Social interaction and face-to-face collaboration are important regarding team spirit and connecting our employees together. Now at Outokumpu hybrid working model is the new normal. Employees whose tasks are suitable for remote work have the possibility for hybrid working. At our operational sites, securing the production defines the possibilities for remote work. The hybrid working gives our employees the flexibility to decide together with their manager how to combine working in the office and remotely.
