Nokia balances workforce to better meet changing business demands and dynamics

The communications industry is undergoing a transformation, driven by convergence, increased complexity, and strong growth in emerging markets and segments. Nokia is committed to continuously renewing itself and improving its operations to meet the demands these developments present.

Accordingly, the company is now taking proactive steps to improve the focus and efficiency of some of its R&D and related sales and marketing activities and internal IT operations, and plans to adjust its workforce within these functions to reflect business needs and the geographical shift in business growth. Over the course of the next few months, the company estimates that a maximum of 700 employees globally, approximately 340 of them in Finland, will be affected by these adjustments.

Wherever possible, Nokia aims to redeploy impacted employees into new positions within the company, and also plans to introduce voluntary arrangements for employees. Where applicable, Nokia will start the consultation process with employee representatives about the planned changes.
