40 years of trust – occupational health care as part everyday life at Oy Kaha Ab

Oy Kaha Ab is a Finnish automotive importer and wholesaler with almost 100 years of history. The company has a revenue of about EUR 100 million and employs 130 people in various functions – from logistics and product care to administration and sales.

Oy Kaha Ab and Mehiläinen’s occupational health partnership has continued for nearly 40 years. The core of the long-standing cooperation has been continuity: long-term customer relationships with contact persons and specialists have enabled effective, flexible cooperation. The partnership has provided on-site appointments with occupational health nurses and doctors, which has made the services easily accessible to employees.

Oy Kaha Ab’s sickness-related absence rates have remained low for years, sitting between 2% and 3%. The employees’ experience of their own work ability and well-being at work is also above average. The company has many employees who have worked for the company for a long time, which is proof of both commitment and successful support of work ability.

"The long-term cooperation means that our employees are familiar the occupational health specialists and clinics, which lowers the threshold for seeking treatment – even when it comes to challenging or personal matters. This continuity has made the use of occupational health care services a smooth and natural part of everyday life," says HR Specialist Karina Kallio.
