HIRING AND REDUNDANCY
Consistent with the commitment in its 2015-2017 performance plan, the group’s
total global workforce was close to 3,300 employees in 2016 (including the impact
of asset disposals), with the number permanent full-time employment contracts
falling by 3,608. In France and excluding asset disposals, the workforce decreased
by 1,239 employees. This reduction was made possible mainly by the roll-out of
six Voluntary Departure Plans in France over a footprint representing 70% of the
national workforce (AREVA NP, AREVA NC, AREVA BS, AREVA Mines, SET and
Eurodif Production).
Hiring thus slowed further in relation to 2015 (909permanent employment contracts),
in addition to 676 redundancies. The workforce stabilized at 36,469 employees at
the end of 2016.
Intent on securing its skills, the group nonetheless maintained a work-study program
in France from March to May, allowing more than 1,000 work-study positions in
France to be maintained.
