Sunrise cuts 175 jobs
As part of an initiative to streamline its structures and processes, Sunrise is restructuring its organization. As part of these ongoing measures to improve efficiency, Sunrise will cut up to 175 positions.
A fair social plan has been agreed with the employee representatives and the Syndicom trade union for the employees affected, the company wrote in a statement on Tuesday.
To increase cross-divisional efficiency and avoid duplication, Sunrise will merge the Residential and Business Customer units: The newly formed commercial organizational unit will serve all customer groups under a single management. In addition, the Operations unit for residential and business customers will be merged into a single customer service organization. This should make it possible to improve services and achieve synergies in product and process development and digitalization.
To this end, Sunrise will reduce its current workforce of a total of 1890 full-time positions by up to 175 people (equivalent to 165 full-time positions). Not affected by the reorganization are the employees in customer service and the sales consultants in the Sunrise stores. During the consultation process, Sunrise held talks with the staff representatives and the Syndicom trade union. A fair social plan is in place for the employees affected.
