Description
Pöyry, a Finnish-owned consulting company, moved back to Finland its financial service center in 2017, and announced the hiring of 30 experts. In 2012, the company offshored and outsourced the activity to Poland. According to the Group's CFO, the re-insourcing will increase the firm's flexibility. In addition, Finland is considered competitive in term of costs, and it is easy to recruit highly skilled workforce.
