National Pizza Co. eliminated 13 long-term corporate jobs this week, with company officials hoping that those employees will transition into jobs at the National Pizza Co. call center.
Mike Woods, NPC CIO, said that the company had a “transition plan” for those employees, helping to move them from the corporate jobs into similar-pay jobs at the call center.
“We’re making jobs available to all those employees in the call center, and there are more than 13 jobs open,” Woods said. “Our plan is to be available to aid those employees either in accepting their new position at the call center or to give them some time and help them with where they want to go.
“It’s going to be up to the people in those decisions to decide,” Woods said. “We don’t want to rush their decision.”
Woods said that he could not release how much time those employees would have to make their decisions. He said the restructuring was largely due to the successful nature of the call center, which was opened in September. The center has ballooned from 140 employees to 160 employees, he said.
Woods said the decision to restructure those jobs came up within the past month or so when NPC officials were looking over the upcoming budget.
“Through our acquisitions and growth, we needed slightly fewer jobs for corporate level support for next year,” Woods said. “At the same time, we needed to add people at the call center.”
Woods said some of the employees had already accepted their new positions at the call center.
“We are continually hiring,” Woods said. “We’re hoping as many people as possible take advantage (of the move). If they don’t choose to, that’s why we’re having the transition period, so they can go smoothly into whatever they decide to do.”
