Report this content
The implementation of Ericsson's (NASDAQ:ERIC) new organization is running according to plan and the new organization will, as previously announced, be up and running as of January 1, 2007. Ericsson makes this move to further strengthen its market and technology leadership.
 
The development in mobile and fixed broadband capabilities and move toward next generation networks opens up for richer multimedia services and accelerates opportunities for growth. Ericsson is therefore implementing a more customer-oriented organization with three business units, each optimized for its specific market segment.

As previously announced, Ericsson has identified certain excess headcount as a consequence of the new organization. Ericsson will reduce headcount by an offer of voluntary resignation to the affected employees. Those, who are addressed by the offer, can apply for severance payment or permanent employment with Manpower as a consultant. The offer applies mainly to employees in administrative functions where Manpower has a large need for new resources. The cooperation with Manpower is a unique set-up and a new, positive way to facilitate redundancies.


Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.
