Delta Corp to streamline operations

DELTA Corporation Limited is to streamline its operations as the beverages manufacturer moves to remain afloat.

The company, however, ruled out mass dismissals in line with terminations taking place on the labour market after a Supreme Court judgment that said employers had the same rights as workers and could sack employees on notice, saying it would simply refine its structures to align them with the current and anticipated business levels.

The speculation appears to have been triggered by a memorandum to workers by the human resources director, Marshal Pemhiwa, indicating that the company would respond to declining business by streamlining operations.

Delta's company secretary, Alex Makamure said the business environment remains challenging and therefore it is paramount that businesses focus on streamlining their cost structures for survival.

He said their view is that no particular cost line is sacred.
