2014-06-12 08:42:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) French operator Bouygues Telecom has presented a transformation plan to its works council that would see the operator reduce its workforce by 1,516 employees, or 17 percent, from 2015 as it strives to secure an independent future. Bouygues will reposition its business around three priorities: developing new usages and mobile internet by continuing to invest in its 4G mobile network, launching "very aggressively-priced" internet and fixed telephony offers all year round, and strengthening its service commitment. The transformation plan will see Bouygues enhance and modernise its store network, although in-store employees and customer advisers in direct contact with customers will not be affected by the redundancy plan.
