Personnel benefits belong to the staff as a whole, regardless of the service area or service relationship format. Personnel benefits apply to both continuous and temporary service relationship staff.
The goal of personnel benefits is to:
- favour services and doing things instead of goods
- support a healthy lifestyle together with wellbeing at work and in one’s private life
- develop new types of community- and togetherness-supportive personnel benefits

Psychological support is a function aimed at personnel which contributes to supporting employees’ well-being and ability to work after experiencing sudden situations that are psychologically stressful. Stressful situations include, for example, a multi-patient or major accident situation, a serious occupational safety incident, or any burdensome or highly exceptional work task. The employee’s personal experience of the stress of a situation is sufficient rationale for offering support.
