<p>Rolls-Royce has announced plans to reduce its global headcount to secure its competitiveness
in a challenging global market. The company is now in consultation with their workforce
representatives about where and how these reductions will be made, although their
intention is to achieve these on a voluntary basis</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It
is not yet clear where jobs will be lost or how many UK employees might be affected.
However, we are in regular contact with Rolls-Royce and will be working with them
to mitigate the impact on the individuals affected, including any who may be based
in the Bristol region. Rolls-Royce will use the Talent Retention Solution which has
been jointly developed by Government and industry and which matches skilled engineers
with employers looking for talent. This scheme has a successful track record of redeploying
engineering talent, most recently with BAE Systems.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
