The reorganization at Publigroupe has personnel consequences: Jobs were cut in the Media Sales division last week. This specifically affects the Business Engineering & Operations support unit. Ten percent of the jobs there were cut, which corresponds to twelve positions. Markus Bieri, Director Business Engineering Publicitas, confirmed the corresponding information to Werbewoche on request: "This involves a total of twelve full-time positions, of which six were made redundant, two early retirements are being reviewed, two internal transfers were possible and the remainder resulted from natural fluctuation". Two members of management are also affected by the redundancies. Bieri did not wish to comment specifically on the reasons for the job cuts: "These are economic reasons that we do not wish to go into in detail". The reorganization will lead to a reduction from eight to six departments within the Business Engineering & Operations organization. Bieri added that no further job cuts are planned in this area. Following these measures, Business Engineering & Operations is "properly positioned" and "equipped for the challenges ahead". However, the reorganization at Media Sales continues: "It is in full swing," Bieri explained. This is the biggest change in the company's history.
