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.
NRK, the Norwegian public broadcasting service, announced plans to reduce its workforce by around 150 full-time equivalent positions over the next two years, affecting employees across the organisation in Norway. The reduction is part of a longer-term adjustment to future financial and operational frameworks and is intended to generate annual cost savings of approximately NOK 150 million from 2028, with about 75 positions to be reduced in 2026 and a further 75 in 2027. The job reductions will be carried out exclusively through natural attrition, without dismissals. NRK states that the measures will not affect its public broadcasting role or audience offering. Employee representatives were informed about the planned workforce reduction in autumn 2025, and the plans have been communicated to the Ministry of Culture, with management stating that the process is undramatic and reflects previously signalled gradual downsizing.
NRK is Norway’s publicly funded national broadcaster, providing television, radio, and digital media services nationwide and employing several thousand staff across editorial, technical, and administrative functions.
