Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Posti, Finland’s national postal service, will cut up to 172 jobs as part of a restructuring measure driven by falling paper mail volumes and increased automation. The company says the changes are necessary to adapt to evolving customer needs and a shifting operating environment.
The measures include introducing automation at the Helsinki mail sorting centre, which will result in up to 79 job cuts. Restructuring of basic and early-morning delivery will further reduce 22 positions. Posti will also close five of its own retail outlets in Helsinki, Espoo and Jyväskylä, affecting 27 employees. In addition, customer service will be centralised at Posti’s largest centres in Helsinki and Rovaniemi, leading to up to 44 job losses.
Posti employs around 13,000 people in Finland.
Previous restructurings took place in 2024, Posti 2024 - FI and Posti 2024 - FI.
