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.
On 4 December 2013, the Dutch insurance company Achmea announced plans to reduce its workforce by 4,000 positions over the next three years as the company seeks to increase its focus on the provision of online services. Most of the job losses will be in the Netherlands. The company is, however, not ruling out the need for compulsory redundancies. Achmea, which is the largest Dutch insurer, currently employs around 21,000 staff worldwide, 17,000 of them in the Netherlands.
