Description
The credit and real estate management company Haya Real Estate has announced a workforce adjustment plan that will affect 292 employees. The company argues that the restructuring is due to economic reasons such as the reduction of services provided to its client Sareb, as well as organisational and productive reasons due to the digitalisation and automation of certain processes. The negotiation process between the company and unions will last until March 10. This process follows a workforce increase which took place in 2019 and brought the current number of employees to 1,125.
