The distributor presented its social partners with a “new organization of head offices in France” and indicated on this occasion that“a maximum number of 979 departures would be likely to occur” on this occasion.
“These departures will only concern head office employees, excluding those in stores or warehouses”specifies Carrefour which has offices in Massy (Essonne), Evry (Essonne) and Mondeville (Calvados).
These departures “can only intervene on a strictly voluntary basis, and within the framework of quality social support”still assures the distributor.
In mid-June, the CFDT had indicated that “the first departures on a voluntary basis might take place at the end of August, or even well before for employees producing a permanent contract abroad”.
This objective of reducing the workforce at the level of the seats was known, and the specialized media La Lettre A had revealed at the end of May that a thousand positions were targeted on the France perimeter of the group alone.
Strategic plan by 2026
This reorganization is part of the strategic plan for 2026 concocted for the distributor by its CEO Alexandre Bompard. In November 2022, the latter announced a new “cost savings” plan of 4 billion euros, including “significant staff reductions in each” of the European headquarters.
The CEO of the group did not then give any indication of the extent of these reductions, simply indicating that“in Europe, there is enormous pooling potential to be exploited” and “everything that needs to be pooled in our organization will be”.
Staff reductions at European level are not yet known.
Carrefour achieved in 2022 a turnover up 16% to 90.8 billion euros, and a net profit jumping to 1.35 billion euros, or 26% better than the previous year. It is due to publish its financial results for the first half of 2023 on July 26.
