Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The German railway operator Deutsche Bahn (DB) will expand its workforce by 5,000 new positions. DB is mainly looking for new train operators, dispatchers, railway maintenance staff and IT-specialists. In total, the company plans to hire 25,000 new employees in 2020, as it accounts for employee fluctuation due to retirement and other reasons. Around 4,700 of the roles are for apprentices and trainees.
In 2019, DB hired 24,000 new employees and increased its overall workforce by 8,000 employees.
