Telia cuts 150 positions in Norway
Telecom giant Telia has announced that it will implement major changes to its organization. As part of an extensive cost-cutting plan, the company has decided to eliminate 150 positions at its Norwegian division.
The background for the cuts is a desire to reduce the company's expenses. Telia aims to save a total of 1 billion Swedish kronor annually across the entire group. Management believes these measures are necessary to ensure more efficient operations in the future.
Employees in Norway were informed of the decision earlier this week. The downsizing will affect several parts of the business, and the company will now begin processes to manage the cuts in an orderly manner in cooperation with employee representatives.
Telia is one of the largest players in the Norwegian telecom market, and the changes will be felt within the organization. The company emphasizes that it will continue to deliver services to its customers as normal, despite the fact that the number of employees will be lower in the time to come.
