There are a couple of major parts to it, the first one being the level of outsourcing. Then there is decentralisation, which means moving to other locations. Both have huge implications for staff. Obviously, day-to-day management, HR and all that is not our business, but it is important for the director general and the management team not just to tell the workers what is happening but also to engage actively with them on it.
