On 19. February 2020, the German regional bank Helaba announced that it will cut 380 to 400 jobs until 2023 due to internal restructuring. The reduction will start in mid-March 2020 and will affect full-time employees at all divisions of the bank in Germany. According to management, Helaba needs to optimise its processes and intends to improve its customer service with a smaller workforce. Helaba plans to implement job reduction in a socially acceptable manner. Negotiations with the works council have just started.
Currently, Helaba operates in Hesse and Thuringia and has 6,000 employees in Germany of which 2,600 have full-time employment contracts.
