Description
France-based clothing company Promod Polska announced that it plans to cut 166 jobs throughout a collective dismissal programme. The programme is registered at the local employment agency in Warsaw.
Promod was founded in 1975 as a French family boutique dedicated to design, production and retailing of women’s clothes and accessories. Currently, Promod is one of the France’s biggest fashion store chains with 5,000 staff and 560 outlets in 26 countries. In Poland, the company has about 20 stores across the country.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
