According to the President of Petrobras, Roberto Castello Branco, the goal is a significantly leaner workforce

Reduction of the workforce. This is the objective of Petrobras’s president, Roberto Castello Branco, who stated this Wednesday (01) that the company should reduce its number of employees from the current 46,600 to 30,000.

The executive also revealed that the Voluntary Dismissal Program (PDV) being implemented in the company has seen about 10,000 employees sign up, representing an average of 22% of the current total.

According to Roberto, “With the departure of those who joined the PDV, we will go down to about 35,000, and with the sale of the refineries, we will probably remain close to 30,000, which is enough for the company to continue operating well, with lower costs and more efficiently.”

Regarding the sales of the eight refineries, the president also stated that there have been no withdrawals in the divestment processes, despite the adverse economic scenario. “Our expectation is still to sign refinery contracts this year; it may be that some things carry over to 2021, and the closure of transactions will occur throughout 2021,” he declared.

Roberto Castello Branco also mentioned that the company is reducing costs and that by the end of this year, Petrobras will cut the number of occupied buildings in the country from 17 to just 8. He noted that the company will adopt remote work for administrative area employees until the end of this year and that, after the pandemic, such employees are expected to transition to telecommuting permanently.
