The mood at Dig­i­cel T&T is tense as the Dig­i­cel Group con­firmed that jobs will be made re­dun­dant as part of a de­cen­tral­i­sa­tion plan to re­main rel­e­vant.

In a state­ment on Tues­day, the telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions com­pa­ny said its de­cen­tral­i­sa­tion plan would im­pact some roles at the group lev­el, al­beit in sev­er­al mar­kets such as Cay­man, El Sal­vador, Haiti, Ja­maica, St Lu­cia, Trinidad, and the US, and that it had start­ed a con­sul­ta­tion pe­ri­od with staff.

Dig­i­cel said it “con­tin­u­ous­ly looks for ways to be more ef­fi­cient to al­low us to pro­vide even bet­ter ser­vice to our cus­tomers. The pace of change in our hy­per­con­nect­ed world is fu­ri­ous, and the onus is on us to evolve in re­al-time to en­sure we re­main rel­e­vant and com­pet­i­tive. Cen­tral to that is en­sur­ing we have the right tal­ent in the right places across and through our or­gan­i­sa­tion.”
