The pandemic has brought with it stress, uncertainty, the need to adapt to new daily routines and many other challenges in everyday life. Being aware of the importance of staying healthy at all times, the Human Resources Department of Latvijas Finieris is looking after its team and has launched an online seminar cycle “Be in Balance”.

This project allows employees to get advice from professionals on how to maintain a balance between work and home, and how to deal with everyday stressors. Besides online seminars, the HR Department has initiated sports challenges promoting an active lifestyle, where everyone, including internationally based Riga Wood sales offices, can join the challenge. Furthermore, online workout videos containing various exercises for everyday use, are also available for the employees.

“We value our employees and we see it as our duty to do everything we can to help them overcome the obstacles and remain strong through these challenging times. Therefore we have designed activities that facilitate both – mental and physical health – and strengthen our team spirit.”

Gunita Meiere, Director of the Human Resources Department at Latvijas Finieris.

During the online seminars, employees can listen to lectures given by well-known management specialists, organisational psychologists and a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, as well as ask questions and share their own thoughts.
