Description
Lithuanian energy services company EnePRO intends to dismiss 412 employees in Vilnius by the end of 2018. EnePRO belongs to Lietuvos energija, which is the largest energy company group in the country. The board of Lietuvos energija has decided to consistently abandon the contracting services with one of the group companies - EnePRO in the coming months, which will lead to the dismissal of 412 employees. Layoffs will start on 1 July, 2018. Currently EnePRO employs 477 employees. The company has developed a special prevention program for the dismissed employees to facilitate their integration in the labour market (e.g. it organises meetings with other potential employers).
