Let’s agree to disagree
At the last count, the Nokia Group employed approximately 139,000 people around the world: not bad for a company that started life as a small riverside paper mill in Finland.In 2010, the devices and services business alone employed approximately 60,000 people from around 115 different nationalities. And approximately 41% of them were women.
Such diversity is crucial to our success so far – and to our continued success in the future. We’re operating in more markets than ever before, and employees from diverse backgrounds can give us invaluable insights into our customer bases. Just as important, a mix of cultures, genders, age groups, beliefs, interests and opinions in the workplace helps foster debate, discussion, ideas and innovation. Not to mention making Nokia a more enjoyable, stimulating and rewarding place to spend your working day.
Doing things the Nokia Way
Commitment to diversity is just part of what we call the Nokia Way – the core values and shared philosophy that make our company tick. Creativity, empowerment, openness, collaboration, and consideration for people and the environment – these are all integral to the way we do business. But above all, it’s about being human in everything we do – respecting and caring, even in tough business situations.
