Description
Banking and financial services company Getin Noble Bank announced that it plans to implement a new collective dismissal programme at its units across Poland by the end of 2021. The company announced that up to 650 jobs will be cut across all divisions as the bank is to intensify the development of remote customer service channels. The dismissed employees will be offered a job search support.
The company was formed in 2010 as a result of the merger of Getin Bank with Noble Bank. Currently, the bank has 3,570 employees as of the end of May 2021.
In February 2020, the bank began the implementation of a redundancy programme affecting up to 250 positions by the end of June 2020. In June 2020, the bank announced another restructuring programme affecting up to 350 jobs.
