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.
Enedis Île-de-France Ouest, a division of the gas and electricity distributor Enedis, has announced the creation of 115 positions in its geographical area, which covers three departments (Val d'Oise, Yvelines, Haut-de-Seine) in the Ile-de-France region. Enedis Île-de-France Ouest is working on the strong development of the region and major projects such as 'Grand Paris', the 2024 Olympic Games, and the boom in demand due to electric mobility. Enedis will also recruit 55 students on work-study placement, from CAP level to five years of higher education (on at least 12 months contract). In total, Enedis will recruit 170 people in 2020.
