Description
The call centre group, Teleperformance, has confirmed the launch of a voluntary redudancy scheme, partly in the form of new legal procedure known as the collective conventional termination of contract (rupture conventionnelle collective) (see EurWORK, France: Government unveils plans to reform labour law, 27 November 2017). This plan aims to cut 240 positions: 130 are employees (telephone consultants) and 90 are supervisors and managers. For what concerns the cuts in employees positions, five centres are affected (Belfort, Lyon, Montpellier, Montigny-le-Bretonneux in the Paris region and Blagnac, near Toulouse). For supervisors and managers, the scope is national.
