What: from now on the company will rely on local partners

Why is it important: the department store has already cut 100 jobs in Zurich HQ

The company wants to avoid layoffs and try to place its 50 ex-employees with new partners. Globus has also developed social measures including early retirements, compensation, extended periods of notice and job search support.

By February 2020, Globus had been sold by Migros to the joint venture of Austria's Signa and Thailand's Central Group. The new owners announced last April that they would cut about 100 positions at the Zurich headquarters. The department stores currently employ 2 400 people.
