Gaia as a workplace

Work that makes a difference

Our work has a significant impact on the environment and society. By helping our clients create more sustainable business and solutions, we can accelerate the green transition.

We learn from each other

Through diverse and often pioneering projects, we are constantly learning new things and no work day looks the same. We can also have an impact on the types of projects we work on and develop our skills accordingly.

Gaians share a passion for learning. We are curious by nature, enthusiastic about our work and want to share our learnings with each other.

Our shared purpose and wide-ranging expertise ensure that colleagues are always there to provide the support you need. When faced with new challenges, we join forces and spar with each other.

A caring work community

We thank, praise and encourage each other. In fact, Gaians have described our work community as warm and caring. Everyone is valued for who they are and we do our best to make sure that everyone feels welcome.

We are not afraid to give or take responsibility, we help each other grow and develop. At Gaia, everyone has the opportunity to advance in their careers.

Our community spirit is strong and we have a tight-knit group — our colleagues inspire us and we have fun together.

“At Gaia, I get the feeling that the employer is ready to go the extra mile to make sure that us employees can thrive in our work.”

We foster well-being at work

We have a flexible remote working culture and our team is spread all across Finland — everyone has the possibility to decide how much of their work is done remotely. Our office culture is also strong and you can always find colleagues at the office who you can turn to for support.

We make time for fun activities outside of our project work and discuss the big questions of sustainability at regular breakfasts.

Gaia offers numerous employee benefits, such as lunch, recreational benefits, snacks at the office, commuter benefits, comprehensive health care and so on.
