Description
Finnish cybersecurity company specializing in consumer security and privacy products F-Secure has announced that it will cut about 60 jobs worldwide.
Around 360 employees are within the scope of the collective consultation process, which covers most of F-Secure's sales, marketing, services and technology operations. The layoffs will affect about 60 positions globally, including up to 37 jobs in Finland. The negotiations may also lead to changes in teams and roles. In addition, around 45 new roles will become available if the planned changes are implemented. The planned measures are expected to generate annual cost savings of around €4 million.
Founded in 1988, F-Secure operates in over 100 countries and protects 30 million subscribers worldwide through partnerships with 200 service providers, retailers, and other partners. The company has offices in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the United States employs about 530 people globally.
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
