As we help build the world a better place on various walks of life, we also cherish our own people and advocate for an inclusive work life for all. Vaisala aims to be a diversity, equity and inclusion leader in the field of technology.
Vaisala's DEI strategy is realized on four levels, ranging from our vision and awareness building to practical processes and quantitative KPIs.
As we believe that numbers speak louder than words: Our target is to bring our DEI index from 4.0 to 4.25 and DEI index gap from 0.3 to 0.0 by 2030.
In our continued pursuit of advancing DEI, we have expanded our initiatives by leveraging the insights and voices of our employees. In 2023 we started an Employee Resource Group (ERG) program, with our first ERG being “Women@Vaisala & Allies”. At Vaisala, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion thrive when employees have spaces to connect and share perspectives. That's why we've launched two more Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to enrich our culture and foster belonging:
- LGBTQ+ & Allies – Creating a safe, inclusive community for LGBTQ+ employees and allies to connect and celebrate diversity
- Grumpy Seniors & Allies – Building intergenerational understanding and camaraderie with a touch of humor and shared experience
Through these Employee Resource Groups, we aim to strengthen collaboration, amplify voices, and make Vaisala an even more inclusive place to work.

"Go for your goals!" – Celebrating women in STEM on Ada Lovelace day
Ada Lovelace day highlights the contributions and experiences of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We talked to some of the women who have built careers at Vaisala about their paths and advice for how we can reap the rewards of more diverse workplaces in the field of technology.
