The concept of “workplace” in many sectors does not mean a tall office building, but a location that is changed multiple times a day. Numerous jobs require the employees daily to move around in the city to carry out tasks – examples of these are the plumbing, security, elderly care and cleaning sectors.

This is a case study of one company called Alppilan Kiinteistöhuolto that operates in the building maintenance field.
