There were major changes to my working assignments and responsibilities as the delivery team manager. This was, of course, exciting, but at the same time, I felt uncertain and tense. I had never thought about becoming a supervisor, but suddenly, I had become one without really preparing myself for it. Of course, I could always rely on my own supervisor, but it was also really nice to talk to someone outside of my own working community.
I personally really benefited from using Auntie. We did not go through the contents of the package as such, since I already had a lot of things to think about that had to do with practical interaction situations. The conversations gave me confidence and faith in the fact that maybe I was going to do okay in my new job.

The security measures used on Posti’s computers prevented us from using a video connection, so we had our first conversation over the phone. After that, I started using my own devices for the meetings, because seeing your conversation partner’s face makes the situation feel much more natural.
The forty-five-minute sessions were just the right length. There was enough time to go through all the things I had on my mind, but they were still short enough for me to easily fit them into my working day.
I appreciate that my employer offers me a chance to receive low-threshold support for different challenges that I may encounter in my work or private life.
Posti offers its employees Auntie’s low-threshold mental well-being services. The individual session packages consisting of five remote sessions help employees to tackle everyday challenges before they escalate and lead to problems or crises.
