New Work SE cuts 260 jobs amid strategic realignment

New Work SE has announced the cutting of 260 jobs; the focus is on the Hamburg site (product development, marketing, administration). The reasons are a strategic realignment towards B2B recruiting, efficiency measures and the increased use of data-driven solutions/AI. A notable feature: there is no traditional works council but an Employee Committee — employment-law issues such as mass-redundancy notification and social selection are relevant.
