Ponsse personnel reductions are smaller than estimated
Changes in Ponsse’s operating model and related cooperation negotiations resulted in the termination of 21 employment contracts in Finland and about 40 outside Finland. Previously, the changes were estimated to cause the termination of 120–140 employment contracts in the company, of which 50–60 would have been in Finland. However, the number of terminated employment contracts was smaller than estimated after dozens of the company’s employees were reassigned to new positions that resulted from the changes in the operating model.
Ponsse announced that the planning process for the changes in the operating model and related cooperation negotiations had been completed on 3 April 2024 when the number of dismissals was not yet known due to internal recruitment.
