Logistik: Deutsche Bahn spart 20 Prozent der Büroflächen ein
Weniger Führungspersonal braucht weniger Platz in der Zentrale: Bahn-Chefin Evelyn Palla setzt den Konzernumbau fort – will in den nächsten fünf Jahren rund 100 Millionen Euro sparen.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) plans to reduce its office space by at least 20% nationwide in the coming years, according to the Handelsblatt. This move is expected to save the company around 100 million Euros over the next five years. Following a reduction in the executive and management levels, DB CEO Evelyn Palla continues to streamline the company.
Palla told the Handelsblatt, "We are making the DB group slimmer, faster, and more efficient." Fewer administrative staff naturally means less office space. The company is aiming to concentrate its resources more on what makes the rail network move forward. Employees are expected to gather more closely in the future. Over the past months, the company has critically reviewed its portfolio.
This measure aligns with the "DB 2035" strategy, which aims to make the rail network more capable and reliable step by step. In December, Palla had announced plans to reduce the number of positions in the management group by about 1000 from a total of around 3500 to approximately 2500. The overall restructuring of the company is expected to save more than 500 million Euros per year in asset and personnel costs starting from 2028.
