MONTREAL – Cogeco Connexion has eliminated 20 jobs from its operations in Ontario and Quebec as part of a restructuring initiative.
A company spokesperson confirmed to Cartt.ca on Thursday that the reorganization “will increase our capability to be more customer-centric and will allow us to be more agile.” Other employees have been promoted or offered different position within the organization.
“We are evolving in a highly competitive marketplace”, reads the emailed response. “We need to transform ourselves in light of the ever-changing consumer habits and technology, and to remain competitive in this challenging and stimulating industry. We have to continue to put our customers at the core of our priorities, while ensuring sound financial management in the way we conduct our business.”
A report in the Hamilton Spectator said that the majority of the lost positions are in Ontario. The company has 1,000 employees in its Burlington base, making it that city's largest private sector employer.
