Publication Series 2: Talent Shortage What if the solution to the growing skills and talent shortage could be found, at least in part, in Finnish and international virtual teams?

This is the second part of the publication series.

2. Talent Shortage

Many industries are currently facing, or soon will face, a significant talent shortage. Wherever virtual teams can be effectively utilized, their potential should be embraced. One major advantage of virtual work is the ability to recruit talent from a much broader geographic area, whether within Finland or internationally. Without requiring relocation, access to skilled professionals multiplies.

For employees, relocation is not an easy decision—it often involves a major lifestyle change, impacting both themselves and their families. Additionally, some regions may lack the appeal necessary to attract top talent.

Organizations increasingly require specialized expertise, which is often difficult to find. Expanding recruitment efforts significantly enhances the likelihood of securing specialized skills and maintaining competitiveness.
