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.
The customer services and sales company Energa Obsługa i Sprzedaż is to cut at least 218 jobs in 34 units across Poland in 2014.

The redundant workers will be able to choose one of three voluntary dismissal programmes. The employment status of another 144 employees is expected to change as they will be re-employed on agency or one year fixed term contracts. The company is negotiating with the local trade unions about the details of the restructuring.
Energa Obsługa i Sprzedaż is a subsidiary of the Polish electricity producer and distributor Energa group. Currently, the company employs 600 staff across the country.
The ERM reported on a previous round of dismissals at Energa group in 2012.
