FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE) has reached an agreement with its works council on restructuring its troubled T-Systems IT services division, a company spokesman said on Friday.
The spokesman confirmed an earlier report in Handelsblatt that said the agreement included moving large parts of the business to a newly created German subsidiary and affected more than 2,000 staff.
T-Systems chief Adel Al-Saleh, hired at the start of 2018 to stem losses, has reduced T-Systems’ headcount in Germany, closed most local offices and hired 3,000 offshore staff to round out its software skills.
