HOK-Elanto as an employer

We carry out an annual Workplace Community Survey for all HOK-Elanto employees. Last year, we asked them what HOK-Elanto’s strengths are as an employer. Here are the three most commonly mentioned strengths:

  • Personnel and coworkers
  • Reliable employer and diverse opportunities
  • Comprehensive and good employee benefits

The good daily work at HOK-Elanto’s stores, restaurants etc. is built on skilled colleagues, clear goals and good management. We want to offer all HOK-Elanto employees the best possible management, and we are constantly developing common management practices and management skills in HOK-Elanto.

Work at HOK-Elanto starts with comprehensive induction training, ensuring that everyone has sufficient skills and knowledge to succeed at their work. In all business areas, induction training is organised with the support of the unit manager and skilled and experienced HOK-Elanto colleagues.

New employees coming to work in Alepa, S-market, Prisma and Food Market Herkku participate in a joint induction training online and perform tasks related to the induction training at their workplace. On the second day, they learn how to work with the cash register. This training takes place at HOK-Elanto’s training facilities in the Tripla shopping centre.
