Randstad Belgium announces restructuring plan

11:47 20/06/2013

Netherlands-based recruitment firm Randstad Holding NV yesterday announced that its Belgian branch, Randstad Belgium, has entered into formal discussions with the country’s works councils about a restructuring plan. “The plan aims to create a more efficient and client-orientated organisation,” the company said in a statement. “The organisational changes will only occur in management and support functions and involve 165 jobs. The financial effects will be communicated once the discussions with the employee representative partners have been completed. In the current challenging market circumstances, the new structure will help us to maintain our solid competitive position in the Belgian market.” Union leaders were  quick to denounce the way the announcement was made. "People feel abandoned, especially as some learnt about the restructuring via the media," Robert Veekman of the LBC union told RTBF.
