During the financial year, the average number of staff employed by the Finnair Group amounted to 10,476 people, which was 3.4 per cent fewer than a year before. As a consequence of the IT and ground equipment structural arrangements, 230 people were transferred to the employment of partners outside of the Group.

Finnair Group brought a new personnel information system into use. The system, which is based on a new personnel strategy, supports staff development and planning and acts as a tool in training, recruitment and the upkeep of personnel information. The system helps us ensure that our business operations have the right quantity and quality of staff resources available at all times. A 4D survey covering a number of subareas was developed as a tool for measuring employees' well-being.

At the beginning of 2002, the basic training of pilots was transferred to the Finnish Aviation Academy, founded by Finnair and the Finnish government. Finnair remains responsible for the further training given to pilots who join the company as first officers and for the refresher and supplementary training of pilots who are already working in the profession.

Other occupational training is the responsibility of the business units' own training departments as well as the Training and Development Services unit, which serves the whole Group. Group-wide training was also organized in the fields of management and finance.
