One person who had referred new members said that they were happily surprised to find out that recommending Tehy could earn them high-quality products that they would perhaps otherwise not splurge on.

Three tips for recommendations

  1. Ask your colleague if they have joined a trade union
    Most employees who have not joined a trade union say that no one has offered them membership. As a Tehy member, take the first step and ask whether your coworker or a student is a member of Tehy. You may be doing a major favour for your colleague!
  2. Share your own experiences of how you have benefited from being a member of Tehy
    Have you received help from a union representative at your workplace, or have you used member benefits? Perhaps you may have participated in training or events organised by Tehy at some point? These are all concrete benefits that are part of membership. See all the member benefits of Tehy here (in Finnish only). 
  3. Inform your coworker how they can join Tehy and help them if needed
    The easiest way to become a member of Tehy is to join the union on its website at tehy.fi/en/tehy-membership/join-tehy. When your coworker joins Tehy online, their membership will enter into effect immediately and they will have access to all member benefits as soon as possible. They can also easily join via their mobile phone!

    Recommend to your colleague that they should choose employer collection. The employer will then withhold the membership fee directly from your colleague’s salary and your colleague will not have to pay the fee separately. Tehy will also notify your colleague’s possible previous unemployment fund about the unemployment fund being changed to the Unemployment Fund for Health and Social Care Professionals.

Making a recommendation is this easy

Ways to make a recommendation: 

  • Face to face: Bring up the topic during a coffee break, for example.
  • Via a mobile app: Send a message to your friend from Tehy’s mobile app via WhatsApp, text message or social media channels. Your friend will receive your personal recommendation and a link to the membership form. The form will automatically feature your member ID.
  • By email: Send an email to your colleague from the Tehy website and tell them why they should join Tehy.

Remember to ask your colleague to provide your name and member ID in the ‘Member ID of the person who referred you’ field. This ensures that you will receive the reward points.

Tehy is the union of every social, health care and education professional

Tehy membership is similar to working life insurance. Tehy members can get help from a union representative and Tehy experts for working life problems. Additionally, Tehy members have access to unique legal services: Tehy’s lawyers offer help in any disputes.

The insurance coverage offered by Tehy for accidents at work is important, as the employer’s insurance policies do not cover all equipment and property damage, for example. Tehy members also have unemployment security for any periods of unemployment and/or lay-off periods. Additionally, Tehy members receive various changing benefits for work and leisure, such as for holidays and wellbeing. The best member benefits of this winter are also sure to bring joy to many!

Membership also brings joy and energy: Tehy members network with social, health care and education professionals at their workplaces as well as at various events and training sessions.

Membership is also a stance for your sector and your future. Together with our 160,000 Tehy members, we protect our rights and pursue better working conditions and better pay through collective agreement negotiations, for example. 

The things mentioned above are definitely worth recommending, wouldn’t you agree? So help your coworker become a member of Tehy! The professional titles of Tehy members include registered nurse, practical nurse, childcarer, social services professional, public health nurse, physiotherapist and rehabilitation instructor, among others. Entrepreneurs and self-employed persons can also be members of Tehy.
