Noora Hassinen began her role as a Solution Consultant at
Tieto Caretech in November 2023. Drawing from her background as a nurse, she
contributes to enhancing the user-friendliness of Tieto Caretech’s Lifecare
patient information system – all while balancing a busy family life.
Originally from Kuopio, Noora first graduated as a
baker-confectioner. However, the idea of becoming a nurse stayed with her,
prompting her to pursue nursing studies in Joensuu. The next decade saw her
working as a nurse, during which she relocated to Jyväskylä and began studies
for a Master's degree at a university of applied sciences in Clinical
Expertise.
In Jyväskylä, Noora worked in specialized healthcare at the
central hospital. Noora has always been a development-oriented person and
actively voiced this ambition at work. When the patient information system was
renewed, she became involved in the project. After returning from maternity
leave, Noora took on a new role as an application specialist, working with the
familiar Lifecare
patient information system.
Eager for new challenges, Noora reached out to a friend at
Tieto to ask about potential openings. Around the same time, a position
opened up at Tieto that seemed like a perfect match — once again, Lifecare
was at the core of the role.
“I thought, if ever there was a job that suited my skills,
this was it. Luckily, I was selected for the role. I’ve now been working at
Tieto for a year and a half.”
Hybrid work enables balancing life with a child – “I feel
privileged that Tieto trusts its employees”
Noora hasn’t worked rotating shifts in years, and she’s
thankful for the stability of regular hours as she has more control over her
schedule. In addition, Tietoevry enables its employees to work in a hybrid
model, combining remote work and office life. Her family includes her husband
and their 4-year-old child.
“Hybrid work makes daily life smoother. Kids aren’t always
the most cooperative in the mornings—sometimes it feels like everything moves
in slow motion.”
Working from home allows Noora to approach her day with more
flexibility and calm. Flexible hours also make it easier to manage challenging
mornings.
“I don’t have to rush or stress about getting to the office.
In another situation, the rush would increase feelings of anxiety, but thanks
to remote days, my morning routine remains calm.”
Noora feels fortunate to be able to do meaningful work also
from home—and sees it as a sign of trust from Tieto.
“I save the time I’d otherwise spend commuting. I can also
pace my work rhythm, which helps me stay efficient. I feel privileged that
Tieto trusts its employees.”
Thanks to remote work, Noora is also able to disconnect from
work quickly.
“I close the laptop and shut the door to my home office. I
pick up my child from daycare and can truly be present for them.”
Remote work fosters open communication and humor – “I might
start a meeting by singing”
Noora’s consulting team consists of eight members who are
spread across different cities and support various clients. Despite the
distance, they function as a close-knit group.
“We have a very close team, and you can always reach out for
help. We all have different personalities, but we work together really well.
Humor and joking are a regular part of our workdays.”
She also collaborates closely with the product development
team behind the Lifecare patient information system. Her extensive background
in healthcare plays a key role in improving the system’s user experience.
“I’m proud that I can use my experience to advocate for the
professionals who use the system daily. My expertise and skills truly make a
difference. Systems should be user-friendly and transparent—not hide
information. Positive feedback from the field always warms my heart.”
The positive work culture that Tieto is known for is
evident in the product development team as well.
“I’ve been warmly welcomed, and the team is full of
fantastic people. We have an open dialogue where constructive challenges are
encouraged. That’s how we reach the best outcomes.”
Still, not everything is all business. The team often chats
about non-work-related topics and keeps the mood light. Noora, in particular,
is known for her musical flair.
“I might start a meeting by singing—and I’ve even gotten
colleagues to join in! The songs range from hymns to pop. My most frequent
performance might be my own version of Macarena. Even my child knows the new
lyrics I made up for that song.”
