As part of a restructuring process, Tigo Rwanda
is to lay off 70 employees effective today.
Announcing the
changes, Tongai Maramba, Chief Executive Officer - Tigo Rwanda, said that the
firm took the difficult but necessary decision to restructure the way Tigo organized
itself in order to be better equipped to compete in the dynamic local
telecommunication market while providing the best customer experience possible.
“This plan is in support of our stated strategy to create a stronger
focus on our customers and business users in Rwanda. Tigo seeks to reorganise
the business to continue to meet the needs of our customers and achieve our growth
plans.“
The reorganisation is
expected to be complete by 31 January 2016, up until that time all affected
employees will be offered guidance and placement support.
Maramba continued: “Through a supportive, professional and
respectful process, engagement will now be conducted with those who are
affected by these changes. This is an important part of being a responsible
business, and we will always make sure we do our best to look after our people”.
