Description
Atos has announced a new reorganisation plan in France involving the loss of 135 jobs as part of its Genesis strategic plan. The most affected will be support and management functions, particularly in the HR, finance and marketing departments. Consultations will begin on 16 September, but the sites affected have not been specified.
This measure is part of a global restructuring plan that will cut 14,000 jobs, reducing the workforce from 74,000 to 60,000 by the end of 2026: Atos 2025 - WO. As part of this restructuring, around 200 redundancies took place in Poland in May 2025. Atos 2025 - PL.
The CGT trade union argues that the reasons put forward to justify the plan, including limited profit margins, growing competition and the need to optimise operations, are not convincing. According to the union, job cuts could in fact slow down production, while the savings linked to lower wage costs would amount to only around €14 million.
The group currently employs 9,631 people in France, compared with around 11,000 in 2023. After posting revenue of €9.6 billion in 2024, the company is targeting €8.5 billion in 2025, a decline of more than 10% for the second consecutive year.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
