The Insel Group in Bern is planning major job cuts in its fight against losses. Switzerland's largest hospital group confirmed corresponding media reports on Friday. It remains to be seen whether there will be redundancies.
Personnel costs are to be reduced by five percent within a year. According to "Berner Zeitung" and "Bund", this will lead to a reduction of 200 to 300 jobs. Radio SRF also reported on the plans. The Insel Group wrote on request that the exact number of jobs to be cut has not yet been determined.
It assumes that the target can largely be achieved through natural fluctuation. Whether there will be additional redundancies cannot be estimated until the end of August at the earliest.
The Insel Group is struggling with major financial problems. Over the last two years, it has posted a loss of around CHF 200 million.
