Liquid Telecom SA has announced a new digitally-enhanced operating model – which includes the automation of many tasks for which people are currently responsible.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Monday (1 October), the company said that this new operating model, coupled with increased automation, will see retrenchments taking place at the telecoms operator.<\/p>\n
“Our adoption of technologies has resulted in the company contemplating structural changes that supports a digitally enhanced operating model,” it said.<\/p>\n
“The change may result in a reduction of the company\u2019s full-time staff complement.<\/p>\n
“We have already informed all staff members of the decision and our main priority will be to support our people over the forthcoming weeks as we go through the consultation process.<\/p>\n
“Through this transition period, Liquid Telecom remains committed to building Africa\u2019s digital future and collaborating with our customers to connect, innovate and grow throughout their entire digitization journey,” it said.<\/p>\n
