"Hearing is a biological ability, but listening is a skill. This is the skill I rely on to help strengthen my client companies’ employee retention."
I’m Maija Kolehmainen, and Hiidentuuri is my way of life. It’s both the name of my business and the farm I call home.
Back in middle school, whenever we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up, my answer was always: an entrepreneur. Growing up in the countryside in an entrepreneurial family, it just felt like the natural path for me.
At the heart of my business is the service of a rented HR manager — a solution that frees up the entrepreneur’s time and helps build a functional and committed work community. I take HR matters off the CEO’s shoulders, so they can focus on developing and steering the company forward.
I’m a practical, hands-on HR professional who thinks from an entrepreneur’s perspective. I understand the needs and challenges of companies and management teams of all sizes. I know how to organize, streamline, and build effective processes that truly deliver results.
In 2019, I made a big decision: I stepped away from an employee role, strengthened my expertise through further studies, and moved to Patokoski on the banks of the Ounasjoki River. Looking back, it has turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. In my work, I want to help others make their own big decisions. I mainly work remotely from my home office, but I’m always happy to visit clients on-site as well!
