Employee communications

Open communication is part of the Nokia way of operating. Our people have different channels for finding out information about the company, expressing their opinions and concerns, and driving positive change in the organization.

On the intranet

• Nokia News Hub – our global intranet news service, giving employees a chance to rate and comment on stories covering a wide range of topics relevant to Nokia business.
• Blogs, Wikis, Videos, and Discussion Forums – employees can discuss, interact, network, and collaborate with each other through posting and commenting on these platforms, some of which are run by senior managers to have an open dialogue with employees while others are run by topical experts to share ideas or gather feedback.
• Prime Time – Live Chat discussion from Nokia leaders with a large group of employees.
• Ask HR – a general employee forum where questions relating to HR issues can be posted anonymously.
• Jazz Café – a lively forum on the internal website where people can discuss topics anonymously.
• Ethics Office – the Nokia Ethics Office has been established to support all employees in questions relating to the Nokia Code of Conduct and questions of business ethics.

Email

• Environmental e-magazine – this email bulletin raises awareness of environmental issues among employees as well as keeping them up-to-date on our latest targets, initiatives and progress.
• A mail or email address – available for all employees to reach the Board of Directors to express concerns and give feedback anonymously.

Unions, forums and surveys

• Unions and collective agreements – Nokia recognizes the right of employees to join unions and enter collective agreements. For example, In Finland, Nokia has several employee representative bodies in accordance with legislation.
• Nokia EuroForum – employee representatives from EU countries meet with management twice a year through the forum to discuss Nokia business issues affecting employees. Up-to-date reports about the EuroForum and its activity are available to employees through our intranet.
• Listening to You – an annual engagement survey (held since 1994) to gather opinions from all employees about Nokia’s business practices.
