據ICIS網站9月22日倫敦報道 巴斯夫預計到2022年底，其全球業務服務部門的員工總數將減少2000人。

巴斯夫周二表示，裁員是該部門重組的一部分。全球業務服務部門成立于2020年1月1日，目前擁有約8400名員工。

從2023年開始，這一調整將每年節省超過2億歐元的成本。

該部門為巴斯夫的業務部門提供服務，從財務和后勤流程到通信、人力資源、環境、健康和安全領域。

全球業務服務部主管馬克·埃赫哈特表示：“通過從根本上簡化流程和利用數字解決方案，我們希望能夠靈活、有競爭力地滿足巴斯夫業務部門的需求。”

埃赫哈特表示，作為重組的一部分，將有更多的服務捆綁在中心，為巴斯夫集團的子公司提供盡可能多的服務。

一位公司發言人向ICIS表示，雖然該部門是在今年3月冠狀病毒危機爆發前所成立，但在過去幾個月里，該部門制定了一個目標，重點放在捆綁服務、流程簡化和數字化等關鍵領域。

這位發言人表示：“作為這一過程的一部分，該部門還將更密切地關注巴斯夫公司業務的需要，并確定提高效率的措施。”

“細節將在接下來的幾個月內完成。”

這位發言人沒有具體評論這種調整是否或在多大程度上是由冠狀病毒健康危機推動的在家工作的趨勢所引起。

本月早些時候，這家德國化工巨頭表示，不會實施在其路德維希港生產中心新建一座辦公樓的計劃，理由是經濟形勢發生了變化，而且工作方式向流動性更強的方向轉變。

BASF to cut up to 2,000 jobs in global business services unit

BASF expects to reduce the headcount in its Global Business Services unit by up to 2,000 worldwide by the end of 2022.

The cuts are parts of a “realignment” of the unit, which was set up as of 1 January 2020 and currently employs about 8,400 people, BASF said on Tuesday.

The realignment should yield more than €200m/year in costs savings, starting in 2023.

The division provides services for BASF’s business units, ranging from financial and logistical processes to services in the areas of communication, human resources, environment, health and safety.

“By fundamentally simplifying processes and utilising digital solutions, we want to meet the needs of the BASF business units flexibly and competitively,” said Marc Ehrhardt, head of Global Business Services.

As part of the realignment, more services than before will be bundled in hubs, which will offer as many services as possible for the units in the BASF Group, Ehrhardt said.

While the division was set up before the coronavirus crisis struck in March, over the past months it “developed a target picture”, with focus on key areas such as bundling services, process simplification and digitalisation, a company spokesperson told ICIS.

“As part of this process, [the division] will also focus more closely on the needs of BASF’s businesses and identify efficiency improvements,” she said.

“The detailing out will be done in the upcoming months,” she added.

She did not specifically comment if, or to what extent, the realignment may have been prompted by the working-from-home trend that has been boosted by the coronavirus health crisis.

Earlier this month, the German chemicals major said that it would not go through with plans to build a new office building at its Ludwigshafen production hub, citing a changed economic situation and the shift toward more mobile working.
