Employee interview with Ismo Syvälähde

24 Center's professional staff is made up of experts from different fields. This ensures the most comprehensive service concept possible for both consumers and businesses in the building services sector. This blog post introduces Ismo Syvälähde, who is responsible for the operational management of 24 Center's Finnish unit.

Ismo Syvälähde started working at 24 Center thanks to his own activism. A colleague who worked at the company tipped him off about a job opening, so Syvälähde picked up the phone and contacted his supervisor. That started the process that led to the job interview and eventually to his hiring in customer service.

While working in customer service and problem-solving roles, she saw an opportunity for her own professional growth at 24 Center. This path has led him to his current business development roles. Ismo grew his experience by exploring different educational options and created the most suitable route to work for himself. With a basic automotive degree in his pocket, he applied to the University of Applied Sciences to study business administration in the sales programme, but put his studies on hold when he got a job at 24 Center. The variety of jobs offered him valuable practical experience and the opportunity to put his learning into practice. 


Comprehensive skills are key: better understanding of the big picture

Working days are often busy and very rarely is any day the same, as Ismo is involved in many things. In addition to operational activities, he takes care of background tasks in customer service, such as organising customer service training and handling customer feedback. The job also includes some financial management tasks. In addition, she will be on-call in case of peak and emergency situations at the 24 Center Customer Service, providing assistance to customers with technical building challenges. The varied job responsibilities provide the opportunity to form a comprehensive overview of the next steps and priorities for 24 Center's business development processes. 

Ismo finds it rewarding when he can see the results of his own efforts in concrete terms: development plans are implemented and they improve processes. In addition, positive customer feedback brings joy and cheer to his working day.

In his spare time, Ismo is a referee for the Football Association in the lower divisions and soon also in the upper divisions. Refereeing is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and everyday life. At the same time, the hobby provides exercise and develops the ability to make big, decisive decisions quickly.
