Welcome to a new issue of our Newsletter, which I start with a question: What does this newsletter mean to you? Does it repeat what you know or does it fill a gap? Let me or Amalia know your thoughts. We always welcome suggestions and contributions. With this issue, we are also launching a competition where you have the chance to help shaping another platform for information: MedH:s external web. We are updating it and looking for new and creative photos for all pages, as replacements for some of the generic images that KI supplies.
Always wanted to be recognized as a photographer? - Here’s your chance!

Latest news on the MedH 2025 Strategy
|
|
The strategy work continues with the six focus groups working on our prioritized strategy areas. Their final work will be discussed at a two day retreat in late September, in which the focus Group Chairs will participate together with the MedH Management Group. Our final strategy report will emanate from these discussions. By the way, the report will also need photos. The photos you submit in the competition, might also end up in the report!

New information regarding covid-19 restrictions at KI
|
|
Society is finally returning back to normal. This week the government announced an end, in practical terms, of the covid-19 restrictions in Sweden. KI has updated its information on this topic. We are still expected to wash hands and stay home when sick, but that's good. Let’s make this routine part of our natural behavior in the future. A beneficial consequence will be the reduced spread of common cold, seasonal flu and other endemic virus infections that usually haunt us in the winter season!

Have a great end of the week! Best regards,

What is your role at MedH?
|
|
A large part of my work as HR-partner is to to give support to our research groups and employees in personnel related issues. My main tasks include supporting managers in recruitment, work environment, labour law and salary issues. I also help employees with issues regarding their employment, sick leave, vacation, salary and so on.
|
Why did you want to work with HR?
|
|
I have always wanted to help people grow and develop, and I also thrive in an international environment with many areas of responsibility. Before this, I worked mainly with recruitment, but I quite quickly realized that I wanted to work in a broader HR role. When the position at MedH was made available, I didn't hesitate to apply, and that's the best decision I've made!
|
What is the best part of your job?
|
|
I get the opportunity to work with the development of MedH from a HR perspective. Even though HR is only a small part of what MedH does, it's a very important part of our organizational development since the employees are MedH:s most important resource. I am driven by the opportunity here at MedH to support all staff and managers, and I'm incredibly happy to be part of a department where everyone is passionate about their work!
|
What are your interests/hobbies?
|
|
In my spare time I like to meet my friends and family over dinner, or to spend my time in nature with my husband and dog.
