Dear Motiivi reader,
You are viewing on your phone or computer screen something that looks both familiar and new. This is because Motiivilehti.fi has been recently redesigned. We decided to enter the summer with a fresh new look and an enhanced personalised user experience.
One significant new feature is the English section. It will offer particularly stories of JHL members who represent language minorities and have moved to Finland. The URL https://motiivilehti.fi/kategoria/in-english/ will take you directly to the English section, and you can also get there by selecting “In English” in the top right corner of the page.
Members of Trade Union JHL are professionals of the public and welfare sectors around Finland. Motiivi is the union’s member magazine – the voice of the people who are JHL. Its primary purpose is to speak to and bring to the spotlight these professionals of thousands of occupations. The people – you – without whom public services would stop functioning and the whole country would come to a standstill.
Motiivi’s long-term goal is to help professionals of different sectors to find the content that they are interested in. We also want to offer a more personalised experience for example for union actives and readers who are interested in various themes.
Motiivi’s new website has been designed to offer an improved mobile experience.
Perhaps the most significant change in the website redesign is that you can customise your reading experience to your preferences. If you find an article that you like, you can save it for future reading. Or if you want to follow a specific theme – for example your occupational sector, well-being at work, or immigration – you can easily add it to your followed categories.
This way you will be offered your customised selection of articles every time when you visit the Motiivi website. You can also send your texts to us for publishing in the “Lukijalta” section. This section is for texts written by our readers and selected by the editorial team.
Motiivi’s new website has been designed to offer an improved mobile experience. This is important because an overwhelming majority of the readers already read the site on their phones. We have also made the site more visual: the Finnish world of work is beautifully presented in gorgeous large photos, illustrations and videos.
Another new addition are high-quality, in-depth theme articles. You will recognise these special feature articles by their large pictures. They are great for leisurely reading for example from the comfort of your sofa.
We also want to have a more direct dialogue with you, for example through surveys and quizzes.
The printed Motiivi magazine will have four issues this year, but we produce as much content as before – now most of it is just published online. Our primary purpose remains the same as before. Motiivi is a magazine produced according to journalistic standards. It offers deep dives behind the scenes of the Finnish world of work, brings ordinary Finnish employees to spotlight, explores societal trends from many perspectives and is informative, entertaining and warming.
Our goal is to create a website that delights, activates and entertains you and gives you new ideas. The website redesign is not the endpoint. It is the start of a new journey. Tell us what is good on the new website and what needs improving. You can do that easily using the feedback form – another of the site’s new features.
