Tiivistelmä
Immigrant workers are crucial for Finland. These people come from different countries and cultures and face many problems in adjusting socially and also in the work.
Aim of my research is to find out the problems related to HRD which immigrant workers face on job, the reason, why these problems occur and to find out their suitable solutions.
In this research, qualitative approach was adopted. I interviewed many immigrant workers who have been working here in different companies. These immigrants were well known to me.
I found out the problems which they face which HR Department can easily solve. The research showed that the problems are because of poor communication, cultural gap, and difficulty in understanding laws, insufficient training, language problem and different working behaviour. Things are not told or not made clear for immigrants.
These issues can easily be solved by HRD, if suggested measures are adopted.
This research is valuable for the human resource people and for those companies who have immigrant’s workforce in Finland, and also for those companies who wish to enter into a foreign market with Finnish managers. .
This research is valid in towns and small cities like Jyvaskyla, but in large and more multicultural cities, I recommend a research on bigger level should be conducted for the valid results of those cities.
