Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Meilleur Contact, a call-center company, plans to recruit 100 people in 2012. The site opened in Libourne (Gironde) in March 2011 and already employs 50 people.
The company received grants from local public authorities (150,000 Euro from the Region, 50,000 Euro from the Department, and 50,000 Euro from the agglomeration) and the State (4900 euro per employees recruited with a "contrat initiative-emploi" for which the company will not have to pay social security contributions). In return it took the commitment to recruit up to 150 people by the end of 2012. The site works mainly for Carglas and Bouygues.
