AAR hospital announced on Friday that it will be laying off employees soon.
The hospital’s chief executive officer, Ken Muma, stated in a press release that the move comes as the hospital begins to implement a new operational model.
The new operational model aims to streamline operations and costs while also ensuring the company is well-structured for the future.
Muma stated that the new structure accounts for changing market conditions as well as the hospital’s current comparative environment.
“In the light of these significant changes, we wish to notify you that necessary changes will be made to the manning structures which will result in the reduction of the AAR hospital workforce,” he stated.
Muma explained that the planned redundancy is due to the fact that the volume of work at the facility has not increased as anticipated, leaving the organization unable to sustain its workforce.
As a result, the company’s board of directors made the unfortunate decision to reorganize its operations, which included a proposal to reduce the number of employees.
“The purpose of this letter, therefore, is to notify you of the proposed changes in advance in accordance with section 40(1)(a) of the Employment Act 2007,” Muma said.
He stated that management’s intention is to make the process as easy as possible. Throughout the period, he sought the employees’ support.
