Honkarakenne Oyj has concluded the change negotiations initiated in May, which concern the company's entire personnel, with the exception of the members of the Executive Board and the director of human resources.

In its meeting, the Executive Board has made decisions related to personnel reductions based on economic, productional and operational reorganization grounds. The number of personnel in domestic business, production and support functions, as well as work tasks, will be adjusted to reflect the current market and demand situation. In connection with the reorganization of production, the company evaluates the possible repatriation of subcontracted products.

At the start of the change negotiations, the company estimates the need to reduce personnel to be a maximum of 27 person-years. As a result of the decisions made in the company, 9 employees, 10 clerical employees and 3 senior clerical employees have been dismissed within the notice periods and they have been released from work. In addition, the terms of employment of 20 employees, 25 clerical employees and 9 senior clerical employees will be subject to substantial changes based on dismissal. Changes to the terms of the employment relationship will be implemented by the fall.

The company's layoff authorization applies to 56 employees, 56 clerical employees and 33 senior clerical employees. Layoffs can be implemented during 2023 and 2024 if the company's financial or production situation so requires.
