21st Century Business Herald reporters have learned from multiple independent sources that after the May Day holiday, Ideal is currently undergoing a new round of personnel optimization throughout the company, with an overall optimization ratio of over 18%. The 2023 financial report shows that Ideal Automobile has nearly 31600 employees, and according to the optimization ratio, this round of optimization involves more than 5600 people.
The departments with more optimization this time are the recruitment department, sales service operation department, and intelligent driving department. Specifically, the sales and service operations department will optimize over 400 personnel, the recruitment department will be reduced from over 200 to 40-50 personnel, and the intelligent driving team will be reduced to less than 1000 personnel.
According to insiders, at the end of April, the management approved the final list of layoffs. This round of layoff optimization officially started in the first week of May, and most of it will end before the end of May, with N+1 compensation for the optimized employees. Ideal Automobile hopes to complete most of its personnel optimization plan before the lifting of employee stock restrictions on June 15th, which can save some of the cost of stock redemption for employees.
The overall goal of Ideal Automobile is to reduce the proportion of social recruitment in the entire company and increase the proportion of campus recruitment. "Priority will be given to protecting the enrollment of schools from 2022 to 2024. If it cannot be guaranteed, the enrollment of schools from 2022 will be given priority," said the person.
