Nokia Displaces Over 300 Employess at R&D Division in Finland

20 Nov, 2009, 4:54 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Mobile phones

Nokia plans to align its research and development (R&D) operations in Finland and Denmark to be in line with the company's focused portfolio of future products. The planned changes are expected to affect up to 230 employees at Nokia's Oulu site in Finland and approximately 100 employees at Nokia's Copenhagen site. The total number would represent approximately 2% of Nokia's R&D personnel globally.
 
Nokia aims to support the employees with alternative solutions, such as finding new positions within the company for as many employees as possible. Nokia will begin consultations with employee representatives about these plans where voluntary severance packages among other topics will be discussed.
 
Nokia maintains a strong R&D presence in both sites; the company has over 2000 employees in Oulu and over 1000 employees in Copenhagen. Overall, Nokia has more than 17,000 people employed in its research and development activities.
