Expanding to Finland? Start with HR – and do it right from day one

When expanding into a new country, the success of your local team makes all the difference. If Finland is on your roadmap, bringing in HR expertise early helps you avoid delays, build trust, and stay compliant from day one.

At Gallant, our Cross-Border Team helps international companies set up smooth, smart operations in Finland – without the growing pains. Here’s how we support you every step of the way.

🔍 Understand Finnish employment laws – with clarity and confidence

Finland has a well-regulated labor market, and meeting local requirements is non-negotiable. A Gallant HR Advisor helps you navigate this landscape – so you can make informed decisions and stay fully compliant.

We support you in:

• Drafting locally compliant employment contracts
• Understanding working time, paid leave, and collective agreements
• Setting up occupational health care, mandatory insurances and pensions
• Handling registrations and cooperation partner agreements

👥 Recruit smarter and faster – with local market insight

Hiring in Finland means understanding the local expectations, salary levels, and job market dynamics. With support from your Gallant HR Advisor and recruitment partners, you’ll be able to attract and retain top talent from the start.

You’ll benefit from:

• Local salary benchmarking and competitive benefit design
• Process guidance tailored to Finnish recruitment culture
• Seamless cooperation with Gallant’s Payroll services

🌍 Bridge cultural gaps and lead effectively

Finnish work culture emphasizes equality, independence, and clarity. That may differ from your home market – and it’s something we help you prepare for.

Your HR Advisor will:

• Translate your global policies into locally relevant practices
• Support onboarding and internal communication in a new cultural setting
• Train managers in cross-cultural leadership and employee engagement

📋 Build strong HR processes – ready to scale

Even a small team needs solid HR foundations. We help you create simple, effective processes that grow with your business.

This includes:

• Identifying key roles and skill development paths
• Creating HR routines that match local expectations
• Coaching your managers to lead confidently – right from day one
