Telstra has confirmed another round of mass cuts across the business is being considered, but stresses that staff will be consulted first.

Today, employees of the country’s largest telco were told that about 550 roles could be affected by the proposed cull.

“These modifications are mainly motivated by the ongoing overhaul of our Telstra Enterprise division, as well as enhancements to the structure and processes of various teams throughout our organization. These efforts aim to simplify operations, increase efficiency, and address evolving customer needs,” stated a Telstra representative.

Telstra said it would consult with its staff first about the proposed changes before moving ahead.

“If these adjustments proceed, we will collaborate with affected employees whose positions are deemed redundant to assist them in finding alternate roles within Telstra,” the representative added.

“If that’s not possible and they end up leaving Telstra, they’ll have access to our redundancy package and a range of support services.”

Telstra stressed that the proposed cuts were not a result of its adoption of AI. 

The telco employs about 31,000 workers across the world. 

Chief executive Vicki Brady at the time said the job cuts would save the company $350 million.

“It is essential for us to operate as a more efficient and sustainable business to maintain investment levels necessary to meet the rising demand for our connectivity and services nationwide,” she explained.
