Development of staff numbers
During the reporting period, METRO GROUP employed an average of 226,934 full-time equivalents (2012/13: 242,967). This is a decrease of 6.6 per cent from the same period of the previous year. The majority of our employees work outside of our home market of Germany. In Western Europe (excluding Germany), Eastern Europe and Asia/Africa, we had 139,510 full-time equivalents, 9.9 per cent less than during the same period of the previous year. A key reason for this decrease was the disposal of Real’s Eastern European business. In Germany, the number of full-time equivalents fell slightly by 0.9 per cent to 87,424.
