The Teleol company, which establishes and operates service and telephone sales centers, has laid off several hundred workers in recent weeks.
In a conversation with Globes, Yossi Strugo, the chairman of Talaul, confirmed that due to tenders that the company won and recently ended, they had to say goodbye to a total of 300 to 400 employees.
Strugo also added that some of the employees were fired due to an internal decision by the company to close some of its targets. “This business operates through tenders,” explained Chairman Strogo. “I assume that the majority of the employees we had to part with will be absorbed in other workplaces. As soon as any company wins the tender and continues operations, it is very likely that they will hire the recently fired employees.”
400 workers will be laid off
The Telaul company was established in 1991 as a company that operates and establishes call centers that operate 24 hours a day. In addition, the company also provides training to various companies regarding the operation of telephone service and sales centers. The company is part of the CNA Group which belongs to the family of Zeev Mozes, formerly one of the owners of Yediot Aharonot.
Talal is not the first company in the high-tech world to lay off employees. The Caesar Stone Company announced last weekend a plan under which 10% of its workforce will be reduced – through layoffs and voluntary departures. In total, we are talking about over 200 employees, also in Israel.
Also the Blade Technology Factory (BTL) which employs about 900 workers who will be forced to leave with the expected closing of the factory in 2025, as well as the retail chain Shufersal, which, as part of the efficiency plan, is laying off about 100 workers, and Sodastream, which recently laid off 120 workers.
