Enhancing Productivity and Well-being in Kainuu through Positive Leadership (PoJo)

Research indicates that positive leadership and organization can promote employee well-being and enthusiasm, thereby enhancing the productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of organizations.

In the PoJo project, the application of positive leadership and organization was promoted in micro and small-to-medium-sized enterprises as well as public organizations. The project included regional and organization-specific training, coaching, and other expert services, and workforce and business service developers were trained to apply positive organization and leadership.

Additionally, the project established a national peer and mentoring network for positive leadership to share research findings and practical experiences in positive leadership and organization.
