MV-Jäähdytys Optimised Its Occupational Health Services with Expert Support
Our client MV-Jäähdytys Oy had experienced rapid growth, and their existing occupational health provider could no longer meet the company’s evolving needs. The solution was to find a nationwide partner – and Söderberg & Partners was selected to manage the tendering of their occupational health services. According to MV-Jäähdytys’ HR Director, Maarit Syrjä, the collaboration was clear, straightforward, and effortless from the client’s perspective.
Growth Created Pressure for Change
MV-Jäähdytys Oy operates in multiple locations across Finland and employs a growing number of specialists in the field of refrigeration and cooling technology. As the company expanded, the demands placed on its occupational health services also increased – and the previous service provider could no longer meet the new requirements.
“We had used the same occupational health provider for years, but the service coverage was no longer sufficient. We wanted a nationwide partner who could support our entire organisation. At the same time, we were looking for clarity and cost-efficiency,” explains HR Director Maarit Syrjä.
The challenge? The company was already managing several other high-priority projects, so the tendering process needed to be outsourced. Partnering with a trusted expert from Söderberg & Partners turned out to be the ideal solution.
Expert Support Brought Direction and Progress
Syrjä contacted her client manager at Söderberg & Partners, and a meeting was quickly arranged with the company's finance and HR leadership, as well as an occupational health tendering specialist.
“From the very beginning, the expert reviewed all our goals and needs. They understood our situation right away and created a clear action plan, which allowed us to move forward without delay,” Syrjä says.
The broker led the tendering process with focus and transparency, keeping the client well informed and providing guidance every step of the way.
“At no point did we feel left in the dark – we always knew exactly where things stood,” Syrjä adds.
Clear Comparisons and Decision-Making Tools
Several providers were invited to participate in the tender. The expert made the comparison process effortless for the client by compiling concise summaries of each proposal, enabling quick and confident decision-making.
“We didn’t have to research or compare service details on our own. The expert summarised everything essential and even brought well-reasoned recommendations to the table. It made the decision straightforward – and one we can truly stand behind,” Syrjä says.
Cooperation with the new occupational health provider has already begun, and the first impressions have been excellent.
A Clearer Agreement – and a Solution That Works
As a result of the tendering process, MV-Jäähdytys received a significantly clearer and better-tailored service agreement. The new model is a far better fit for the company’s size and needs – and it’s also more cost-effective than before.
With the help of the broker, the agreement was refined to match the organisation’s structure and goals. Having someone with a full view of the big picture proved invaluable.
“Bringing in an expert was absolutely the right decision. The process was smooth and easy – and we couldn’t be more pleased,” Syrjä concludes.
