Nokia to Cut More than 250 Jobs in Finland
The proposed cuts affect about 3.7% of Nokia’s Finnish workforce as the company shifts spending toward defense, artificial intelligence and data centers.
On Wednesday, Nokia announced plans to cut up to 253 positions in Finland as the network equipment maker shifts investment toward defense, artificial intelligence, and data centres.
These reductions are part of a cost-saving program Nokia launched in 2023, targeting expense reductions between €800 million and €1.2 billion by the end of this year.
The cuts affect operations in Espoo, Tampere, and Oulu, representing about 3.7% of the company's approximately 6,800 employees in Finland.
Negotiations with employee representatives are due to begin on Monday, October 12, following confirmation to Yle that the change negotiation process has started.
Employee representative Jari Nummikoski noted that these negotiations were expected, as the company previously reduced its headcount in Finland earlier this year.
According to HS, the company justifies the reductions by ensuring competitiveness and allowing it to invest in areas of the business that will contribute to future growth.
