A lack of competence is slowing down the growth of companies in the service sector

The growth in the number of personnel in the service sectors has slowed. According to the joint Service sector skill survey of the Finnish Commerce Federation, Service Sector Employers Palta and the Finnish Hospitality Association MaRa, recruitment difficulties have eased for a while, but the declining age groups of people of working age are also creating challenges in the service sectors. The most common challenge in recruitment is the mismatch between competence and the needs of the company.
