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

Successful products and services rely on meticulous design methods, seamless experience coordination, and valuable data leverage. One key method in achieving this is service design – a strategy increasingly adopted by successful organizations across industries. But how does this concept translate within the heavy-duty world of material handling equipment? For Konecranes, the approach is defined by incorporating the customer’s perspectives throughout the process – ultimately ensuring that the end-solution is as simple, appealing and desirable for the customer as possible. Our Service Designers Tjhien Liao and Antti Kienanen were recently interviewed and shared how Konecranes applies service design to further develop our products and services.

Customer Story: Success often begins with a simple site audit. A recent site audit by Konecranes at a pulp and paper company in British Columbia uncovered significant maintenance and safety issues. Initially reporting 19 lifting devices in service, the audit revealed 111 devices, some of which had never been inspected. After partnering with Konecranes, the company implemented a three-year maintenance plan, ensuring regular inspections and repairs. Word spread, and soon Konecranes was partnering with other paper mills across Canada, providing the same proactive maintenance solutions. By working with Konecranes, these companies realized the value of keeping their equipment safe and up to date, reducing accidents and lost productivity.
