TietoEVRY Is Creating the Digital Future for Business and Society (2. strana)

STYLE talent from local schools, currently mostly via programming lessons or interactive workshops. I am proud of all the activities that we do in this field. For example, our experts participate in lessons in schools, we organize IT training for teachers and we steadily have over 100 active students on internships all over the company. We collaborate with, to name a few, MS Pakt, MSIC, the City authority of the city of Ostrava, etc. Our interns can already proudly display several completed projects. They have developed two applications for the non-profit sphere that were donated to these organizations by TietoEVRY as a gift. We have also started providing equipment in collaboration with schools and the city authority of the City of Ostrava and we have provided tens of laptops to the schools for their socially-disadvantaged students. What language do you use for communication within the company? Are there, for example, any Finnish lessons in the company for you and your employees? The corporate language of the company is English. The employees can sign up for English and German courses, but we also provide Finnish and Swedish lessons. Are you personally inspired by the Finnish people in something? How do they differ from us Czech people in their professional or private life? The Nordic culture has no hierarchies, which is in part different from us. Other than that, I am impressed by their care of the environment they live in. I also appreciate the transparency and mutual trust in the Finnish people. It is interesting that the TietoEVRY management decided to settle primarily in Moravia in the Czech Republic. Why Moravia? Yes, most of our branches are in Moravia. It is a very good strategic place, thanks to its proximity to Poland, where large urban agglomerations are located. Together with Slovakia and the Czech Republic, this area creates an important hub. Also, the fact that the quality universities and high schools are located here is important, because it means having enough experts. However, we operate also in other regions. For example, we also have employees in České Budějovice and Liberec. Thank you very much for the interview. Text: redakce Foto: archiv TietoEVRY POSITIV 1/2021 ǀ 47
