Eletrobras will hire a thousand employees, says CEO – 06/22/2023 – Market

Eletrobras is hiring 1,000 employees in parallel with its recent PDV (Voluntary Resignation Program), announced earlier this week, said the company’s CEO, Wilson Ferreira Júnior.

Participating in the National Meeting of Electric Sector Agents, the executive also stated that the balanced number of employees for the company is between 7,500 and 8,000 employees.

He also reiterated that Eletrobras will participate in the energy transmission auctions scheduled for this year. “We are going to be effective in the proposals and competitive.”

On Monday (19), the company had informed that it would launch a new PDV on June 20, the second since the completion of its privatization.

The program provides for the departure of up to 1,574 employees and an estimated cost between R$ 450 million and R$ 750 million, with a payback similar to the plans previously practiced, according to the electric company.

The measure is part of a process of renewal and “oxygenation” of the workforce at Eletrobras. The previous PDV had almost 2,500 subscribers, with a large part of the terminations carried out until April, and with an estimated annual savings of R$ 1.1 billion.
