BBC je danes sporočil, da bo v okviru programa varčevanja ukinil 550 novinarskih delovnih mest, povezanih s spletnimi, televizijskimi in radijskimi novicami, in še 700 delovnih mest v korporativnih oddelkih. To bo pomenilo skupno zmanjšanje delovnih mest v podjetju, kar bo vključevalo tudi zmanjšanje števila višjih vodstvenih položajev za najmanj deset odstotkov. Generalni direktor BBC-a Matt Brittin je napovedal, da bo podjetje prihranilo 500 milijonov funtov v treh letih, kar bo vključevalo tudi zmanjšanje porabe za vsebine za 80 milijonov funtov – približno 92,5 milijona evrov. Samo z odpuščanji novinarskih delovnih mest bi BBC privarčeval do konca fiskalnega leta 160 milijonov funtov, kar predstavlja največje odpuščanje od leta 2011.
Brittin je v sporočilu zaposlenim izrazil zanesenost, da bodo vse oddelki dosegli znatna varčevanja, in dodal, da je obseg varčevanja zahteval težke odločitve. "Živimo v zelo negotovih časih. Naše občinstvo se vsak dan zanaša na nas, da ga obveščamo, zabavamo in opremljamo, da razume svet. Varčevanje ob hkratnem izpolnjevanju našega poslanstva pomeni dvojno težaven čas za vse," je izrecel. Nadaljnje podrobnosti o odpuščanjih in varčevanju bodo objavljene v prihodnjih meseceh.
Vodstvo BBC-a je v zadnjem času preživelo več spora, vključno z odstopom Tima Davieja, ki je bil zamenjan z Brittinom. Daviej je novembra lani napovedal svoj odstop po sporu glede dokumentarnega filma, v katerem je bil prirejen govor ameriškega predsednika Donalda Trumpa iz leta 2021. Brittin je prevzel funkcijo generalnega direktorja v maju, kar je pomenilo spremembo v vodstvu, ki je vplivala na strategijo podjetja.
Na drugi strani je Volkswagen v zadnjem času preživel številne težave, ki so pripeljale do internih analiz, ki razkrivajo globoko zaskrbljenost glede prihodnosti največjega evropskega avtomobilskega koncerna. Interna anketa med vodstvom razkriva, da šest od devetih članov uprave meni, da je ogrožen obstoj koncerna. Volkswagen izgublja položaj na ključnih trgih, predvsem na Kitajskem, kjer domači proizvajalci električnih vozil hitro pridobivajo kupce. Vodstvo pripravlja obsežne varčevalne ukrepe, ki bi lahko vplivali tudi na prihodnost nemških tovarn in delovnih mest.
Vodstvo Volkswagen-a je v zadnjem času predstavilo nov načrt preobrazbe, ki temelji na osmih ključnih ukrepih. Prvi med njimi predvideva zmanjšanje števila modelov in različic vozil. Po oceni vodstva je ponudba postala preveč razdrobljena, številni modeli pa ne dosegajo prodajnih rezultatov, ki bi upravičili razvojne in proizvodne stroške. Koncern je ukinil model Touran, leta 2027 bo izginil tudi T-Roc Cabriolet, medtem ko je Audi že ukinil vstopna modela A1 in Q2. V prihodnjih letih bodo še naprej postopoma izginjali modeli z manjšim tržnim deležem, medtem ko bodo največ sredstev namenili najbolje prodajanim avtomobilom.
Volkswagen želi tudi zmanjšati število platform, na katerih razvija svoja vozila. To naj bi znižalo stroške razvoja, poenostavilo proizvodnjo in pospešilo uvajanje novih modelov na trg. Hkrati načrtujejo zmanjšanje presežnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti v tovarnah, kjer povpraševanje po izdelkih ne dosega več nekdanjih ravni. Obsežni kadrovski rezi so vključevali tudi obsežne pogovore z sindikati, ker so dogovori v številnih delih koncerna močno omejujeли možnost odpuščanj in zapiranja tovarn. Vodstvo je v zadnjem času predstavilo več kot 30 novih modelov, letos pa jih namerava dodati še približno 20. Med najpomembnejšimi novostmi so električni ID. Polo, Cupra Raval, Škoda Epiq in Audi A6 Allroad. Audi pripravlja tudi vrnitev modela A2, ki naj bi postal novo električno vstopno vozilo znamke. Škoda pa bo kmalu predstavila tudi svoj veliki sedemsedežni električni športni terenec Peaq.
Volkswagen zato poskuša postati hitrejši, cenejši in bolj prilagodljiv. "Razmere ostajajo zahtevne," je priznal prvi mož koncerna Oliver Blume. Vodstvo verjame, da bo poenostavitev ponudbe, zmanjšanje stroškov in osredotočenost na najbolj prodajane modele omogočila, da bo Volkswagen tudi v obdobju električne revolucije ostal eden največjih proizvajalcev avtomobilov na svetu. Do leta 2030 naj bi ukinili do 50.000 delovnih mest, kar je pomenilo še večjo zmanjšanje v podjetju. Vodstvo je tako predstavilo široko strategijo, ki vključuje zmanjšanje števila modelov, znižanje stroškov in osredotočenost na najbolj prodajane modele, kar naj bi pomagalo koncernu ohraniti konkurenčnost v obdobju velikih vlaganj v električno mobilnost in digitalizacijo.

24ur (POP TV)IndependentCenter12 days agoVolkswagen Group has announced a major restructuring plan aimed at reducing the number of car models and production platforms to cut costs and improve efficiency. The strategy includes phasing out several less successful models, such as the Volkswagen Touran and T-Roc Cabriolet, as well as the Audi A1 and Q2. These changes are part of an effort to streamline operations and focus resources on the most popular models. The company also plans to reduce excess production capacity and cut up to 50,000 jobs across its brands by 2030.
