Supplementary information

The Deka Group strives to structure any restructuring measures in such a way as to minimize the impact on employees. To this end, it has implemented a series of measures to prevent restructuring and, should it be unavoidable, to actively manage it.
 
In the event of potential restructuring, the terms and conditions for affected employees are generally established through negotiations with employee representatives regarding reconciliation of interests and social plans.
The focus is on retraining programs designed to impart new skills and enhance employability. In addition to financial compensation, employees may also take advantage of reduced working hours (e.g., part-time work, flexible models). Employees leaving the company can be supported as needed with outplacement services (career counseling, assistance with job applications, access to job boards).
 
In addition, individual follow-up support can be offered during restructuring, such as personal counseling, assistance with career reorientation, psychological support, and retraining programs to enhance qualifications.
