The Auchan brand announced this Tuesday, November 5, that it wanted to cut 2,389 jobs in France, in its headquarters and in points of sale, to regain growth momentum, reports France Bleu.
An announcement that follows years of financial difficulties. A few months after Casino, it was the northern Auchan group, belonging to the Mulliez galaxy (Decathlon, Kiabi, Boulanger…) which announced on Tuesday November 5 that it wanted to eliminate more than 2,000 jobs, 2,389 to be exact, report our colleagues from France Blue.
The group, which employs 54,000 people in France, announced these layoffs as part of a “return to growth plan“, which involves cuts in the workforce but also a reorganization of its activity, a new commercial project and a new logistics plan.
Point of sale closures
In detail, 784 positions should be eliminated within its headquarters, 915 in hypermarkets, and 466 in the ten points of sale, hypermarkets and convenience stores, which will be closed. In hypermarkets, “certain professions would be eliminated: certain sales manager positions as well as the positions of equipment sales sales advisor, payroll planning and management manager and safety manager“.
Management says it wants to limit the number of redundancies through support for the employees concerned, retraining training, reclassification leave and voluntary departure plan.
