Although forced redundancies have not been ruled out, the company aims to reduce the workforce by discontinuingof temporary contracts and through internal relocations if possible.
The company started talks with worker representatives.
In total, Rhon-Klinikum employs 220 people in its headquarters. In 2012, 240 job cuts were announced in hospitals of which the company holds the majority.
