Diversity of an organization has recently been discussed in Finland, especially in terms of the age of the employees. Is there discrimination against more seasoned employees? Transparency on how many +50 (or +55) employees companies have helps. I guess the fear has been that companies do not value experience and thus do not recruit employees closer to the end of their career. We at @Konecranes do value experience in our employee population – as we do other elements of diversity. For us, it is important to represent the society around us in all the beautiful ways in which we differ, as much as we can. We employ globally around 16.700 people in over 50 countries and 470 locations representing 105 nationalities. Our current age distribution looks fairly balanced: #loveourteam
