Contexte culturel
In Finnish work culture, 'taking needs into account' is a sign of 'asiantuntijuus' (expertise). It is expected that you don't just follow orders but think about the impact on everyone involved. The 'Nordic Model' emphasizes social inclusivity. This phrase is a linguistic reflection of the policy that no group should be left behind in public planning. Finnish companies often use this phrase in their 'arvot' (values) to signal that they are customer-oriented and ethical. The Finnish school system is famous for 'erityisopetus' (special education). Teachers are legally required to 'ottaa huomioon oppilaan yksilölliset tarpeet'.
