北京时间10月4日晚间消息，爱立信今日宣布，将在瑞典裁员约3900人。其中约3000人来自制造、研发和其他部门，另外900人为咨询人员。
爱立信代理CEO贾恩·弗莱克哈默(Jan Frykhammar)在一份声明中称：“此举是为了确保爱立信的长期市场竞争力，以及在技术和服务领域的领先优势。”
今年7月，卫翰思(Hans Vesterberg)卸任爱立信总裁、CEO及董事会成员等职务。同时，爱立信任命公司执行副总裁、CFO弗莱克哈默为临时CEO，直至公司任命新的CEO。目前，爱立信仍在寻找适合的CEO人选。
爱立信此次裁员对于瑞典也是一个打击。爱立信是瑞典最大企业雇主之一，最近几周，一些政治家和工会纷纷采取各种措施来挽救一些职位。当前，爱立信在瑞典拥有约16000名员工。
爱立信今年7月曾宣布，由于电信网络设备市场不景气，公司将采取一些措施来提高企业效率。早在2014年，爱立信曾宣布一项约11亿美元的成本削减计划。
在这3900名即将被裁减的员工中，其中约1000名将来自制造部门，意味着爱立信在瑞典的制造业务绝大部分将被取消。当前，爱立信瑞典制造业务占其全球制造业务的约5%。
在裁员的同时，爱立信还宣布，未来三年还将再招聘约1000名研发人员，以支持技术转移、新客户和更多的软件开发工作。
