UPDATE - November 19th:
In a meeting, the head of facility management at Biomedicum has acknowledged the response from the community of employees regarding the outsourcing of the reception, but stated that the plans are at an irreversible stage. The reasons to go ahead with terminating the contracts of reception staff were explicitly stated not to be financial, but due to administrative difficulties in creating a flexible system that would ensure permanent staffing of the reception also in situations of sick-leave or holidays.
An official announcement will follow.
Thank you to all who have shown support for our reception-staff! If nothing else, it was a welcomed sign of appreciation.

UPDATE - November 2nd:
On October 25th, KIs Facility Director responded to the petition with the following:
"The process to go ahead with the outsourcing of the receptions in Biomedicum as well as in Aula Medica, is [...] negotiated with the Unions in accordance with the Collaboration Agreement and the dismissals are handed over. The reason KI decided to outsource the receptions was taken to meet the requests from the business carried out by KI on both locations. The receptions will of course be staffed even onwards. KI must focus on development to meet the needs and unfortunately this sometimes has a negative effect for the employees affected."
----------------------------------------------------------
Original Petition:
By February 21st 2022, KIs Universitetsförvaltningen plans to outsource reception service in Biomedicum and Aula Medica, terminating the contracts of the people who greet us every day on our way to work, facilitate our start at KI, and who give our institution a human face to visitors and employees alike.
Signing here, we express the opinion that our facilities' permanent reception-staff make an important familiar contribution to our work environment, and request their continued employment.

im still processing the news from the recent meeting and honestly it feels like they arent taking our concerns seriously at all. just because they say its irreversible doesnt mean we have to stop talking about why this matters. i am looking into the next steps for us right now.

im honestly so moved by the wave of support weve seen lately. even though management says the plans are set in stone its clear they didnt expect this many people to speak up for our staff.

Att bli bemött med glädje och omtanke när man behöver hjälp, de är väldigt sällsynt, Jag åker runt till olika företag och får se väldigt mycket. Ni ska var stolta över era receptionister de är ett ansikte utåt och servicen utåt. En statlig myndighet bör fortsätt föregå med gott exempel. Med vänlig hälsning, hälsning Stefan
Det finns andra värden än de krasst ekonomiska/organisatoriska. Personalen i dessa receptioner är väl inarbetade och känner många, många medarbetare med namn och institution. De är anställda av KI vilket ger en känsla av tillhörighet som en konsultfirma inte kan erbjuda. Dessa människor vi möter i receptionen varje dag bidrar starkt till den vi-känsla som var ett av argumenten till att bygga Biomedicum.
Minns när jag började på KI 2012 så var de första personerna jag kom i kontakt var receptionen. Det känns bra att ha en bra kontakt med receptionen som man kommer i kontakt med dagligen. Det sägs att Receptionen är företagets ansikte utåt. Det känns bra att man känner igen receptionspersonalen. Både Biomedicum och Aula Medica har trevlig tillmötesgående personal.
How much will be gained to let the receptionists go and outsourcing the unit? Does it worth it over the years? Does it worth it to sacrifice the good and helpful relationship we have with the receptionists for a few “penny” kronor that will be saved by outsourcing it? Think and rethink and rethink again…
Biomedicum reception is well functioning right now mostly due to the fact that the person (Panos) recruited there is a professional, well mannered and extremely helpful when it comes to redirect all the hundreds of people passing by him every day. Changing/canceling this working body is a very stupid idea!!!
We need him!
The Café Biomedicum has had a positive effect in the work environment at Biomedicum, not least during the pandemic.

The current Reception is exceptionally useful for the Staff in Biomedicum - and outsourcing it would harm not just productivity but the professional atmosphere in the building. To be greeted with a helpful friendly face like that of Panos Kazantzis gives our building a professional and competent 'feeling' - and firing the Reception staff will do quite the opposite...
