The entire redesign program will last two years from now on, but it will have no further impact over the number of employees, Achilleas Kanaris, Vodafone Romania CEO, told ZF.
Asked what this process means exactly, Kanaris replied the accurate term is business redesign.
Why is this program needed? Kanaris explained Romania’s internet services market has reached saturation, with the service becoming a consumer good, and the evolution is faster than on other European markets and hence the group’s strategy is also more aggressive locally, in line with local realities.
Asked why several senior managers, some of them well-known on the telecom market, announced their departure from the company, Vodafone Romania head said the company created a discharge by agreement program with very good compensations, which pushed many people to choose a career restart.
Vodafone head firmly denied the program signaled an intention of the group to leave Romania.
