During 2002, workforce reductions affected
approximately 200 employees at Stora Enso's facilities in North
America.
In addition to a competitive severance package, these employees
were offered career transition services. This programme provides
professional counsellors and office space for employees to identify,
seek out, and secure new career opportunities. In addition to professional
consultation, services include use of computers with Internet access
for career searches, telephones to conduct job searches/interviews,
word processing assistance, and career search reference material.
This programme has proven successful. Placement rates through the
career transition services are high, with most employees finding
comparable positions or transitioning to other career alternatives.
