Christmas greeting from YTK
The video features a greeting from Auli Hänninen, CEO of the YTK Unemployment Fund. Along with Auli on the video is a gnome made of moss. The gnome was given to us at Christmas time last year by a member as a thank you and positive feedback.
For us, all the feedback we get from you members is very important. Constructive feedback helps us to develop our services and warm, positive feedback brings us great joy.
For us, it is a matter of the heart to be able to help and support all our members in the best possible way when you need us. I hope that the economic situation in society will improve in the upcoming year and that fewer will go through periods of unemployment. Now YTK can also help you members in finding a new job – check out the new job search tools in the OmaYTK service!
YTK already has over 530,000 members and we, over 200 people working at YTK, are very proud and happy that you have chosen us as your unemployment fund. We hope to be able to help you in the best possible way when you need us.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the upcoming year!
