Overview
- La Redoute announced a plan that could eliminate 171 positions globally, specifying 138 roles in France and 33 abroad while creating 29 new posts.
- Management attributed the proposal to shifting consumer habits, structural and technological changes in e‑commerce, and stronger competition from international platforms.
- The company says it will give priority to internal redeployment and support professional mobility for affected employees as part of the process.
- Before any cuts take effect, La Redoute will carry out legally required information and consultation procedures with employee representatives and negotiations with trade unions.
- The restructuring follows a drop in La Redoute’s market standing in online fashion and home sales and forms part of a wider Galeries Lafayette group effort to stabilise growth.
