Nordea finalises cooperation negotiations in Finland
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Nordea has now finalised the cooperation negotiations initiated at the end of
August.
Before the negotiations were started, Nordea estimated the required reduction of
employees to be between 500 and 650 in Finland. It was also estimated that part
of the reduction need would be handled through natural turnover, such as
retiring employees. During the negotiations, it was discovered that altogether
300 employees will retire during the rest of 2011 and next year. As a result of
the finalised cooperation process, the job will end for about 450 people.
- The outcome of the negotiations is that a personal cooperation procedure will
probably be initiated with approximately 200 people. Now Nordea will start an
internal employment service in which we seek jobs within Nordea for the people
left without work, says Ari Kaperi.
If no work is found in four months, the people left without work are offered
severance packages. The size of the severance package depends on how long the
employee has been employed by the bank.
Furthermore, all employees under the threat of being made redundant are offered
the opportunity to participate in relocation training. This means that the
employee left without work is assisted and coached in finding a new job.
- This kind of process is always difficult, but it is now necessary due to the
changes in the banking environment. We will try to find a new position within
the Group for everyone whose present job ends, or to support them financially or
otherwise in order to make it easier for them to adapt to being left without
work, says Ari Kaperi.
