The Coca-cola Bottling Company of Ghana has put on hold, plans to further reduce its staff.
The decision to reduce staff numbers was due to the current power crisis and performance of the cedi against major foreign currencies.
According to the beverage giant, it has completed its redundancy exercise and will not lay off any more staff.
The company in the first half of this year, laid off over 200 employees as the ongoing power crisis and depreciation of the cedi led to its Kumasi factory shutting down operations.
General Manager, Felix Gomis assured current staff the redundancy exercise was over.
“Our redundancy is finished, we have done it already, we are not going to do it anymore and I can say that we have finished our redundancy exercise. What I can say is that we are not laying off any worker anymore in the company.”
“I can assure workers that work with the company and are on our pay roll and receiving their salaries that they are the workers that the company count on for the goals that we are about to achieve in the coming years and coming months and forever.”
