This morning I sat down with @CamillaTuominen to discuss her specialty: #emotions . Camilla has been running a training program for our BT community, which focusses on the importance of expressing & managing emotions at #workplace Thank you for your time & insights!

Last week I had the opportunity to visit Nokia @BellLabs Espoo. Exciting to have our two companies working together on the important matters regarding #digitalization of energy. Thank you @nokia team for organizing - let's keep up the active dialogue and cooperation.

One of the best parts of being at the office is without a doubt seeing and interacting with people – and this Tuesday was no exception. Thanks to the slowly opening world, we were happy to have Uniper's Damian Bunyan and Hans Pezold visiting us in Espoo.

For someone who mainly works in an office environment, it was insightful to discuss and witness how #safety is actually done at our sites. After all, it is at the core of everything we do at @Fortum .

Fascinating day visiting @Fortum ’s metal & battery recycling facilities and seeing how our lithium-ion #batteryrecycling #technology works in practice. Did you know that our hydrometallurgical recycling process can recover up to 95% of valuable metals from EV batteries? 💡♻️🔋

Have you heard of @Plugsurfing ? ⚡It is an e-mobility charging solution that makes electric driving easy. Today I met up with the team that has done an awesome job at simplifying #EV charging wherever you go around Europe. Keep up the good work!

Today I got to meet our Software Development Team in Poland. Software plays a vital part in the #energy business with its ability to facilitate more flexible and efficient transition towards a cleaner world. We at BT are in charge of building up these capabilities for @Fortum

Lately, I've been giving more thought to the importance of physical and mental #wellbeing, and how we could increase them throughout @Fortum Business Technology.

Check out the video and hear how I take care of myself during these busy times ⏬

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Our #emotions have a huge impact on the people around us - understanding & better managing them is key to creating a workplace where people feel valued, appreciated, and safe. This fall we at BT will focus on exactly that through a series of trainings with @CamillaTuominen

Insightful and intensive two days with my management team in Porvoo. The discussions were fruitful, and even tough at times, but this is exactly what we needed to prepare ourselves for the busy months ahead. BT MT mascot Ellie was also fully enjoying the outdoors and seaside.

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

This morning started off with outdoors and mobility. A big thank you to our very own Viivi Lehtinen for these wellness sessions - we're certainly better prepared for the day ahead. How did your Thursday start? #health #wellbeing #mindset

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Business Technology Management Team meeting at Porvoo. We'll have a few days together to go through our goals and ambitions for the coming months. Many things happening at BT - hope to share some with you as they progress. #digitalization #technology #innovation #foracleanerworld

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Flexibility is here to stay. I believe we need F2F meetings and unexpected encounters around the office to collaborate and work in the best way possible. It's great to see @Fortum embracing this new hybrid work model. #hybridwork #collaboration #wellbeing

During the pandemic, #technology has enabled us to work together seamlessly. However, not all interactions can be done virtually. This is why one of my personal priorities for this fall is to go and meet people at our different offices. Today it was Dusseldorf's turn.

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

#businesstravel is slowly taking off as the COVID-19 restrictions are gradually lifted. This is visible in my calendar as well. The key to traveling during this unusual time is to do it safely and according to the restrictions.

Any guesses on where I flew today with @Finnair ?

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Very gradually getting back to the office. It was great to see my management team members in person after a good while.

How will you be working this coming fall?

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Much needed break outside with my always enthusiastic co-worker Ellie the Labradoodle. Have you remembered to take a break today? #wellbeing

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Another fruitful day at work. 🙏🏼 Yesterday we got together to discuss the importance of #technology at the first Fortum Uniper Executive Technology Day. Driving the clean energy transition is at the core of everything we do, & technologies play a huge part in making that happen.

[Arun Aggarwal @_ArunAggarwal]

Startups are an important part of our innovation work at Fortum.💡 Today Valkea Growth Club introduced their activities to our CEO @MarkusRauramo23 at Valkea premises in Maria01, the biggest startup campus in the Nordics. Thank you for the insightful morning!
