Pöyry has concluded the statutory employee negotiations announced on 14 October at its largest legal unit in Finland, Pöyry Finland Oy. The negotiations are ongoing in some of the legal units that are covered by the negotiations. Regarding the Finnish operations the estimates announced on 28 October on the need for personnel reductions are still valid. At that time Pöyry announced that the reduction in capacity, of the currently active workforce, is estimated to correspond to 250-350 persons, and in addition to this, the future outlook for the workforce of about 200 persons temporarily laid off will be carefully considered. The estimate includes both operative and non-operative personnel.
Pöyry will make decisions regarding the on-going negotiations only when the negotiations have been concluded with all the legal units covered by the negotiations process. The decisions will then be published.
Development of processes supporting the operations will be continued as part of the operational excellence programme as announced on 28 October 2010.
Pöyry has published related stock exchange releases on 14 and 28 October 2010.
