How can work communities thrive in the digital age? The Laterna project, coordinated by Haaga-Helia, seeks research-based solutions to the challenges of community in multi-location work and develops practical solutions that combine digital efficiency with human connection.
The two-and-a-half-year research project examines how digitalization shapes work communities, ways of working, and organizational culture. The goal is to determine what the sense of community really means in remote and hybrid working life and to identify practical methods and tools that organizations can use to strengthen the sense of community in the digital era
The project is coordinated by Haaga-Helia and the partners are Aalto University, Häme University of Applied Sciences, along with corporate partners ABB Marine & Ports, Glaston Finland, Meltlake, Selma Finance, and Wärtsilä Energy.
