Randstad has announced it will be restructuring its activities in Belgium due to increased competition. The company intends to reduce its workforce by 165 people and has entered into formal discussions with workers’ representatives on a social plan. The possible redundancies figure is almost identical to that which the recruitment firm warned of ahead of restructuring plans in its French operations in December 2012.
