Vaisala Corporate Responsibility Report 2011

Vaisala Most Responsible Summer Job
Employer 2011
Over 70 organizations participated in the Responsible
Summer Job 2011 campaign organized by the Finnish
Children and Youth Foundation together with Alma
Media. At the end of the summer Vaisala was chosen
as Finland’s Most Responsible Summer Job Employer,
together with Särkänniemi Adventure Park and the
building systems and construction company YIT.
The campaign, which started at the beginning
of 2011, aimed to encourage Finnish employers to
offer more and better summer jobs to young people.
The campaign focused on the principles of a good
summer job: meaningful work and reasonable salary;
proper orientation and guidance; equality and
fairness; and a written employment contract and
letter of reference.
The winners of the competition were chosen by a
jury on the basis of evaluations given by the summer
workers in the organizations. The top three excelled
particularly well in treating their summer workers
fairly and integrating them into the workplace as
full team members. Vaisala’s overall score in the
competition was 4.81/5.
Vaisala Oyj employed approximately 40 summer
workers in 2011. A little over a half of these worked
within the annual Vaisala Giant Leap Internship
Program.
