Description
The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos (THL), is initiating coperation negotiations for their entire workforce, starting from 6th of March 2024 and proceeding for about two months. About 200 full-time employees are at risk of being made redundant (15% of THL’s current workforce).

Decreasing the workforce will not be sufficient, there is also a need for THL to revise their role, operations and tasks for the period of 2024-2027, to meet the budget cuts.
