High wages also affect productivity.
Aleksei Snitsarenko, a member of the board of ElectroAir Ltd., says that the company has been developing and manufacturing electrical equipment for over 15 years, providing ground support for all types of aircraft and helicopters.
“A few years ago, our team developed charging stations for electric vehicles on the market. Unique devices produced in Estonia have been delivered to over 100 countries worldwide.
According to Snitsarenko, ElectroAir is an excellent workplace with several advantages.
He highlights the productive and creative environment: ElectroAir employs over 100 people, including highly qualified engineers, designers, electrical circuit designers, and programmers.
“People from more than 20 different countries work here, creating a unique atmosphere where everyone has the opportunity to express themselves and contribute to the overall success. This contributes to the growth and development of each employee and allows finding of unconventional solutions to problems. Working in this team provides excellent opportunities for self-improvement and professional development through the exchange of experiences and knowledge, as well as participation in the development of new technologies,” he describes.
A new factory was built in 2013, and it was decided to expand it in 2016. In 2022, a new complex was built, allowing the company to further develop and increase its production capacity. Another major expansion is planned for the years 2023-2024, which will double the production capacity. These changes have enabled us to operate under comfortable conditions. The latest advancements in digitalization and upgrading of production equipment have been implemented in the expansion of the factory and complex.
The role of a caring employer.
According to Aleksei Snitsarenko, ElectroAir offers excellent working conditions: the company provides its employees with modern infrastructure, necessary professional equipment, and various IT solutions that enable high-level efficiency.
Training and professional development opportunities are also important: the company organizes various in-house courses and offers opportunities to participate in specialized centers to develop employees’ professional skills and qualifications.
“ElectroAir promotes teamwork and creates a friendly atmosphere within the team, strengthening relationships between employees.
The average salary of employees is higher than the regional average, which shows that the company cares about its employees and recognizes their work. A high salary is not only an important motivating factor but also allows employees to feel more comfortable in their daily lives, which positively affects their productivity.
ElectroAir holds development discussions with employees every month to find multiple solutions to improve the work environment. Each employee has the opportunity to make suggestions for improving the work environment,” describes Aleksei Snitsarenko.
The representatives of the company emphasize the importance of a positive work environment for the company’s daily operations. It is emphasized that the latest innovative solutions are used in production, and the location and facilities meet both ergonomic factors and occupational health and safety requirements. The company also updates and improves its software to ensure efficient and consistent work.
ElectroAir pays great attention to the safety and health of its employees, providing a safe working environment and training its employees in occupational safety. The company is dedicated not only to the work of its employees but also to their health and well-being. To this end, team sports and summer and winter activities are organized to allow employees to relax and maintain their physical health.
“But that’s not the only thing that makes ElectroAir special: the company also cares about the personal lives of its employees and does not neglect important events such as the birth of a child, graduation from university, or weddings, creating an atmosphere of respect and mutual understanding within the team.
All of these measures make ElectroAir not only an excellent workplace but also a caring employer that seeks to provide its employees with everything they need for their professional and personal development,” says Aleksei Snitsarenko.
