Swiss Post to Cut 60 IT Jobs Amid System Reorientation

Swiss Post, the national postal service, is set to eliminate approximately 60 IT positions as it undertakes a significant reorientation of its information technology infrastructure. The move, confirmed by the company, signals a strategic shift in its digital operations and workforce planning.

In addition to the outright job cuts, the postal giant is also anticipating around twenty changes to employment contracts. These adjustments may involve new roles or different work locations within the IT sector, which currently employs 1,500 people in Switzerland. The company aims to adapt its IT structure to meet evolving business needs.

We are reorienting our IT system. We are in dialogue with employees and social partners. We plan to launch a consultation procedure in mid-June.

La Poste acknowledged that the reported figure of 60 job losses aligns with current internal deliberations. A formal consultation procedure involving employees and social partners is slated to commence in mid-June. Definitive figures are expected only after this process concludes, likely by the end of the year, indicating a phased approach to the restructuring.
