Morrisons cutting thousands of Management jobs
Morrisons has announced that it is planning to cull 3,000 management jobs across its business as part of a major restructuring of the workforce that will see around 7,000 jobs created in its stores.
“The (net) increase of more than 4,000 jobs is after a number of managerial roles are removed,” the group said.
The job being created will include butchers, bakers, fishmongers and other fresh food specialists.
The supermarket chain said the aim of its decision was to serve customers better within its stores by changing the way they are staffed. The plan will see managers who are retained “concentrate on helping frontline colleagues to do their job and run their stores”.
David Lepley, Morrisons Group Retail Director, commented: “This proposal means more frontline colleagues improving product availability and helping customers.
“Whilst there will be a short period of uncertainty for some managers affected by these proposals, we will be supporting them through this process and there are jobs available for everybody who wants to continue to work at Morrisons.”
Earlier this week, Sainsbury’s revealed that it is planning to cut hundreds of management jobs as part of continuing moves to integrate its supermarket operation with that of its Argos unit.
