Restructuring at Takeda Pharma

Takeda Pharma has recently implemented a restructuring process that unfortunately affects a number of employees, including several Pharmadanmark members.

It is always a difficult and sad situation when a company has to part ways with talented employees and when members lose their jobs. Naturally, this is no exception.

Pharmadanmark has a long-standing and close relationship with Takeda Pharma, and in this situation our legal team has also worked closely with the company’s management to negotiate the framework for the restructuring.

Pharmadanmark secures strong agreement

Together with the employee representative, we have negotiated an agreement for the employees who unfortunately will be losing their jobs. It is a strong agreement that will hopefully make a meaningful difference and help those affected move forward successfully.

“We have experienced a company that listens to the input we bring as a union,” says Casper Gad, Head of Legal Department at Pharmadanmark, and continues:

“We have worked with the company for many years and have built a level of trust that is evident on both sides of the table. This means that, even in a difficult situation like this, we are able to ensure a fair and efficient process.”

Fortunately, there is a possibility that several positions may be restructured, which could help keep the number of redundancies to a minimum.

A dynamic industry

Life Science is one of Denmark’s strongest industries. It is a sector that delivers significant results but is also characterized by rapid change. Products are developed and phased out, production is reorganized, research activities are relocated, and companies adapt to new market conditions.

This creates opportunities, innovation, and growth, but it also means that employees from time to time experience major organizational changes over which they have neither influence nor responsibility.

Support when you need it most

It is precisely in situations like these that the value of a union with in-depth industry knowledge becomes clear.

When restructurings or layoffs occur, a great deal is at stake for the individual employee – professionally, financially, and personally.

At Pharmadanmark, we specialize in the Life Science industry, and we know how to help you move forward if your workplace is affected by restructuring or layoffs.

We assist with everything from negotiating agreements and employment terms to providing individual career guidance on your next professional steps.
