What other associations and trade unions love about Howspace
“I need an environment where I can meet and communicate with members remotely. Doing this asynchronously is also very important; we don’t have to be online simultaneously, yet the information still flows and is accessible. In other words, without Howspace, I wouldn’t have easy access to members and activists all over Finland.”
Sanna Pihakivi, JHL’s Expert on Professional Activities, Education and Guidance
“With the help of Howspace, we were able to produce material that was distinctly different to anything we had done previously. In addition, we were able to make our values visible in our operations. The strategy work was a genuinely good example of what we always aim for, which is to be inclusive, listen to our members and meet their needs. This achievement will certainly be reflected in our operations in the future.”
Juha Makkonen, Development Manager at OAJ
“Howspace served its purpose perfectly. Online participation is demanding and requires courage, but the platform worked very well for us. Even during the last month, almost 70% the total number of participants were involved in the Howspace work”
Heini Hult-Miekkavaara, Senior Specialist (Career, Training and Competence Services) at YKA.
