Do you have one hour for diversity?

The core of the Dörren concept lies in supporting foreign-born professionals to build their social capital in Finland. As an organisation you can help international peers from your industry gain a sense of belonging in the local work community and to maintain their professional identity in the new environment. 

International professionals are a great resource for the Finnish society due the aging population but also thanks to the opportunities they can bring to your organisation. Diversity simply makes sense - it means a broader variety of ideas and skills that help organisations stay relevant and competitive in Finland but also abroad. 

Developing the diversity in your organisation can seem challenging especially in the beginning. Dörren makes it easy to take new steps for diversity and to connect with international talents from your industry.

Dörren matches locally established professionals with international peers from the same industry for one hour meetings. As a locally established, so called “Door Opener”, you are not expected to offer a job or an internship but only to share your knowledge about your industry in Finland and, if possible, new contacts. The idea is that the foreign professional gets local insights and a broader network to help him or her find the most suitable place in the Finnish working life. At the same time, your organisation also has the opportunity to get new perspectives and connections that could help you take steps towards the diversity that you need in your organisation.
