The aim is to prepare the number of staff for a situation where customers are not able to visit the department stores due to stricter corona virus restrictions, and for an immediate decline of the revenue caused by the situation. The operations in the Stockmann online store are continuing as normal.
The codetermination negotiations will begin during week 13, where possible layoffs for a maximum period of 90 days will be negotiated in a situation where the department stores possible are forced to close. The negotiations concern approximately 1 200 employees in all department stores and support functions in Finland.
