Manna Group: Cooperation is based on mutual respect

Manna Group and StaffPoint work in close cooperation. For Manna Group, it has been important to find a reliable recruitment partner with broad expertise. The collaboration has helped solve challenges brought on by a changing world.

Founded in 2021, Manna Group includes respected Finnish brands such as Finlayson, Lexington, Makia, Reino & Aino, and Vallila. Long-term brand development is key to Manna Group’s growth and progress, which is why they chose StaffPoint as their HR partner. The decision was particularly influenced by the fact that StaffPoint provides all essential HR services under one roof.

As the world changes, so do recruitment needs

Manna Group is a large organization with a wide range of recruitment needs. With its broad HR service offering and expertise, StaffPoint has been able to help Manna Group find skilled personnel, for example, for pop-up stores and temporary staffing needs. On the white-collar side, Manna Group has also benefited from StaffPoint’s support in both direct recruitment and temporary staffing solutions.

“Our pop-up business requires a certain number of staff for each season, a process that would be challenging for us to resource, recruit, train, and onboard on our own. That’s why StaffPoint stood out as the right partner among others. Our collaboration with StaffPoint has solved these challenges and allowed us to scale our recruitment efficiently,” says Manna Group’s Retail Manager, Mikko Alatalo.

Mutual respect and open communication as key elements

According to StaffPoint’s former Retail Division Director Juuso Laitinen, all business partnerships should be based on trust and respect. Open communication has been key in the cooperation between Manna Group and StaffPoint, and this is reflected in successful recruitment results. To achieve great outcomes, Laitinen emphasizes the importance of discussing even difficult topics openly.

“All challenging issues and concerns can be raised and discussed openly. Together we find ways to resolve them,” Laitinen praises the straightforward and transparent collaboration between the companies.

Manna Group’s HR Director Mirka Koskelin highlights that the best part of the partnership is the shared understanding of what good looks like, and the genuine joint ambition to achieve it.

Manna Group’s Retail Manager Mikko Alatalo especially values StaffPoint’s willingness to support and develop Manna Group’s business:

“I can recommend StaffPoint because what really stands out is their genuine desire to help, to be involved, and to develop our business in a way that benefits both companies.”
