Recruitment activities were intense throughout 2007. The number of personnel increased by 1,990 new employees. This total increase came mainly as a result of organic growth and includes only a small number of personnel coming via acquisitions. In addition to direct employment, Wärtsilä also employed indirectly an external workforce totalling 2,152 man-years in subcontracting in its factories and units. The largest increase in personnel took place in the Services business. Geographically, the number of employees grew most of all in Europe and the Asia-Pacific countries. The increase in the units in Finland during the year was 385 employees.
In most European countries all Wärtsilä employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The number of employees belonging to a trade union varies between 70% and 100%. These figures vary considerably in other countries outside Europe and therefore any average figure for the Group as a whole would not reflect the real situation.
