Fast Technology reported on January 30 that recently, it was reported that Honda China's head of Masaki Igarashi said in an interview that large-scale personnel optimization will be implemented in China.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion about Honda's layoffs, and Honda China's public relations department refuted the rumors and said that the domestic translation was inaccurate, and Honda's enterprises in China had no plans to lay off employees.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of December last year, a number of ** reports reported that Guangqi Honda announced the layoff of 900 employees, all of whom were contract workers, and the contract would not be renewed after expiration, and the number of layoffs accounted for 7% of Honda's total employees in China.
According to Honda, the layoffs are the first layoffs in 25 years since Honda Motor Co., Ltd. launched a joint venture with China's Guangzhou Automobile Company in 1998 to produce cars, because the production and sales of Honda's gasoline vehicles in the Chinese market have been hampered by the large-scale rise of pure electric vehicles (EVs) in China.
At that time, in response to these reports, the relevant person in charge of Guangqi Honda responded: It was a misinterpretation from the outside world, and Guangqi Honda did not lay off employees, but only terminated the agreement with the labor dispatch company.
Guangqi Honda also provided financial compensation to the labor dispatch personnel in a timely manner in accordance with laws and regulations, and the news about the layoffs was untrue. The phased personnel adjustment of the corresponding production will not have an impact on Guangqi Honda's production line, as well as the promotion of new energy and intelligent strategies. ”
