Description

Royal KPN NV accelerated its restructuring efforts Friday, unveiling 110 job losses at the support unit KPN Services, which provides administrative and human resources facilities with 873 employees.

This restructuring will likely be finalized in 2005. KPN spokesman Bram Oudshoorn confirmed the KPN Services move, but said that KPN is hopeful that it will find other suitable jobs for the majority of the laid-off employees.
