Cuts will be ‘as socially responsible as possible’, promises chief personnel officer

Technology giant Siemens has announced job cuts of 16,750 from its global workforce, which may include UK workers.

Germany will bear the brunt of the job losses, with 3,500 cuts, and 5,450 roles will be axed outside the EU. But of the 3,650 losses across Europe, some may be in the UK. The German firm employs 20,000 staff in the UK.
