The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that an employer's duty to retrain a terminated employee applies to the entire corporate group, not merely the specific company. The employee argued that retraining should include other group companies, while the employer contended the obligation was limited to its own entity. The court held that the statutory provision requires the employer to consider all group companies when fulfilling retraining obligations.
