Skyguide plans fewer layoffs than originally intended
The posts will be cut, but early retirements will mean fewer forced redundancies, Skyguide said on Monday.
Following the consultation, the company states that voluntary redundancies could further reduce the number of staff made redundant. The aim remains to cut around 200 posts and achieve savings of nearly CHF51 million.
“We are aware that the past few weeks have been a time of great uncertainty and concern for our staff,” said Skyguide’s chief executive, Peter Merz.
A package will be put in place to support those made redundant. The company is facing significant costs. It added that the next steps will continue to be communicated publicly.
