Chris Peeters gives himself 2 to 3 years to transform bpost and avoid a social plan

If the abolition of the press concession is initially absorbed by the end of temporary jobs, such as temporary contracts, this will not be enough in the long term, underlines Chris Peeters. “This is why it is absolutely necessary to create other businesses in b to b (business to business, editor’s note) and b to c,” he explains. “This transformation is urgent and must be done within the planned deadlines, to avoid any social plan.”

Part of the transformation will consist of training postmen for other functions or professions, such as driver positions – this is already the case for around a hundred employees -, “functions in information technology, as well as than in everything relating to business logistics”, says Chris Peeters.

The CEO also wants to review the operation of the 650 post offices, to make them “proximity offices for the citizen, based on multi-service, where we will also integrate municipal services, mutual societies, etc.” . A proposal will be made to the new federal government, with the aim of implementing it in 2027.
