Booking Holdings has announced plans to reduce Booking.com’s global headcount by a quarter as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the online travel agency.
According to a regulatory filing earlier this week, Booking Holdings said Booking.com was in the process of consulting with work councils, employee representatives and other relevant organisations regarding the intended staff reduction and related cost reduction restructuring actions.
Booking Holdings said it expects to develop more clarity on the timing, the number of affected employees, the financial impact and other aspects of the contemplated cost reduction actions as a result of these consultations.
“The company expects to finalise its plans and make relevant announcements to employees on a country by country basis, with the first countries starting in September 2020, and expects to complete all such announcements by the end of 2020,” it said in the filing.
