This increase is explained by a sharp rise in the number of redundancies and resignations (33% and 26% respectively) compared to 2023. These two categories alone account for 74% of all departures in 2024, and mostly concern contract logistics activities, which depend on customer business volumes. Lastly, fi xed-term contracts coming to an end account for 17% of departures: the Group’s activities in the United States require temporary staff during peaks in activity, and these hires are mainly on fi xed-term contracts, as the use of temporary employment agencies is not widespread.
