Nordic and Baltic telecommunications giant Telia has recently revealed plans to cut 500 jobs in Finland as part of a restructuring effort. The company’s CEO, Heli Partanen, expressed that while these changes will be difficult for all parties involved, they are crucial for building a more agile and efficient Telia.
The downsizing is expected to not only boost profits but also enhance customer satisfaction, according to Partanen. In addition to the job cuts, Telia has announced the creation of approximately 45 new positions in Finland and the transfer of 160 employees from Telia Company to Telia Finland.
Currently, Telia employs around 4,000 individuals in Finland and caters to an estimated 4.5 million subscription customers in the region. The restructuring talks began in September, with Telia aiming to reduce its global workforce by about 3,000 employees across various units and regions.
Despite the challenging nature of these changes, Telia remains committed to streamlining its operations and ensuring long-term success in the competitive telecommunications industry. The company’s decision reflects a strategic approach to adapt to evolving market demands and technology trends.
As Telia navigates through this transitional period, it is essential for stakeholders to stay informed about the company’s progress and future plans. By embracing innovation and efficiency, Telia aims to strengthen its position in the market and continue delivering high-quality services to its valued customers.
