We can help you with:

Becoming an employer

When you hire someone, you become an employer and must comply with legal obligations such as tax, health and safety, and collective agreements. We can help you take all the necessary steps when you become an employer for the first time!

Your role as employer

As an employer, you have responsibilities towards your employees and the authorities. Collective agreements and employment contracts must be taken into account, as they affect what you have the right to manage and what you don’t. If you need advice or help with the daily matters of being an employer, come recharge your entrepreneurial batteries with us.

Stopping being an employer

If you’re no longer paying someone wages or stopping business altogether, it’s important to notify the tax authorities, insurance company, and other relevant parties. As the day-to-day life of your business changes, we can help you get your bearings in the new landscape.

Comprehensive and free business services for local companies

Posintra’s business consultancy can help you with a wide range of issues related to running your company. We can help with the bigger picture – business plan, profitability calculations, financial planning, sales and marketing development, and more… but we can also help with the day-to-day running of the company too – e.g., tips on electronic bookkeeping, choosing the right accountancy firm, or finding the right specialist partners.

Our services are also suitable for larger, more established companies. We offer not only the above, but also services that will accelerate growth and revitalize your business, and expertise in applying for investment and development grants. We work with Business Finland, the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY), and a number of local partners – so we can point your business in the right direction.

Develop your employer image and recruit the best talent for your team

Employer image refers to how your organization is seen as a place to work, in terms of the emotional, financial and practical benefits associated with it. With the right employer image, you attract the best talent and reduce your turnover of employees – not to mention improve your results.

If you want to improve your employer image, focus on these:

Participative management: involve employees in decision-making and listen to their views. Participative management increases engagement and satisfaction.

Well-being at work: invest in the physical and mental well-being of your employees. Provide opportunities for breaks, exercise, and stress management.

Communication: open and clear communication is important. Inform employees about company goals, decisions made, and changes to come.

Training and development: provide opportunities for training and professional development. Employees value the chance to learn new things.

Work climate: create a positive and supportive working environment. Avoid negative language and conflict, and address grievances in a timely manner.

Draw on networks for more power

Were you aware that we are working closely with Porvoon yrittäjät and Business Porvoo to help the region flourish? We are also the designated Regional Entreprise Agency for East Uusimaa, offering our customers access to all the useful materials and networks that all the Regional Enterprise Agencies across Finland offer. We can find sparring partners for you so you can exchange ideas with other entrepreneurs, and maybe you will eventually develop a project together with them!

Growth through recruitment

How do you successfully recruit your first employee?

When taking on your first employee, you should consider a number of factors: what exactly are our recruitment needs, how do we communicate these, and where do we recruit from? And there are issues to consider after the recruitment too, such as pay, safety, insurance, employment contracts, tax, and induction.

As an employer, you have legal obligations towards both your employees and the authorities, so these need to be checked carefully. For example, the EU’s Directive on Transparency of Pay will now oblige employers to declare a salary or guarantee of it either in the job advertisement or, at the latest, before the job interview.

When you become an employer for the first time, you may have many questions. We are here to answer them and help you navigate the complexities of recruiting and retaining staff.
