Tiivistelmä
Construction is one of the biggest fields in Finland. There are a lot of companies operating in the
field. There are not enough construction specialists in Finland. Due to Finland’s membership in
the European Union, construction specialists from other European Union countries can freely
work on Finnish projects. During the last 15 years, a business model of renting an employee to a
client company gained high popularity. Case company Värväämö Oy is one of those companies.
Due to the increasing number of international employees in the company, the old induction
guidelines must be improved. A project was launched that was aimed to analyse old induction
guideline, conduct qualitative research among Värväämö’s international employees, and improve the old guideline. The project consisted of six tasks.
The evaluation of old guideline was done by analysing the old guideline. The possible improvement suggestions are given based on the author’s findings and gathered theoretical data. The
qualitative research was conducted by interviews among 57 Värväämös international employees. The possible improvement possibilities were brought out based on the research results.
Based on the gathered data, a new improved guideline has been done. The guideline aims to
increase employee’s awareness of Finnish taxation, construction collective agreement, accommodation, contractual and occupational safety issues. The end-product was expected to be
taken into use after the project as soon as possible.
