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.
Ringier Axel Springer Polska, a Polish media and technology company, announced collective redundancies affecting around 12% of its workforce. The company currently employs around 1,600 people, which corresponds to approximately 190 planned job reductions.
The restructuring is linked to changes in media consumption, declining traffic from digital platforms, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence tools and large technology platforms on publishers’ revenues. Consultations with trade unions are ongoing, after which employees are expected to receive details on the criteria and conditions of departure. The trade union Inicjatywa Pracownicza criticised the planned cuts.
The company previously experienced an internal restructuring in 2022 Ringier Axel Springer Polska.
