GWI DID NOT LAY OFF 300 WORKERS
Dear Editor,
We wish to bring clarity on our restructuring process which occurred within approximately two years. This is in response to an article published by News Source titled “GWI saving $240M annually after laying off 300 workers in 18 months”.
First and foremost, it should be noted our retrenchment process did not affect 300 employees. Rather, the reduction of our workforce from a total of 1320 to 998, is owing mainly to attrition.
Our termination exercise only targeted 77 personnel, many of which were redundant positions. The remaining 223 departed the company’s employ as a result of resignations and retirement.
We also wish to state that where key personnel such as Engineers may have resigned, management has moved to hire skilled persons to ensure our mandate is efficiently executed.
