reuters.com/world/uk/britains-co-op-bank-plans-400-layoffs-2024-03-26/
Quick Glance: Cost-Cutting Measures: Co-operative Bank to Slash 400 Jobs
- The Co-operative Bank has announced plans to cut 400 positions to boost efficiency and reduce costs. This action is part of the lender's largest cost-cutting and restructuring programme since being rescued by hedge funds in 2017.
- The layoffs will impact various areas of the business, including its 50 branches, aiming to decrease the workforce of 3,000 employees by approximately 12%.
- These cuts signify a significant step as part of the bank's transformation plan following efforts over the past three years to simplify the lender and foster sustainable growth.
- A potential agreement could lead to the ethical bank returning to member ownership and operating as a key player in the High Street with nearly 5 million customers.
