East Asia Mart´s mission is to contribute to society. “Here in Tampere our goal is to make positive impact on community and act as an example for other companies. We are dedicated to being actively benefitting both community and society at large”, says Jon Fan, co-founder of East Asia Mart.

Definition of work tasks in the trade sector helps to observe simple and repetitive tasks in the lower work requirement level that need to be done.
 “As we wanted to resolve this business-related challenge we ended up cooperating with Service Foundation for People with an Intellectual Disability (Kehitysvammaisten palvelusäätiö) and hiring partially disabled person through job coaching service that they provide”, says Fan.

Promoting of diversity begins with the recruitment practices. Implementing those practices is not difficult,
if you choose to challenge the ways of thinking and preconceptions. “Work tasks and working hours are individually customized and we offer a possibility to try out different tasks to keep the work both productive and inspiring. As a multicultural workplace with a diverse cultural backgrounds of the employees East Asia Mart provides an opportunity to work as a part of safe and secure work community, which supports all of our employees. By working here, they can also learn cultural and social skills. This has been a perfect arrangement which values our company, employees and customers.”
