Personnel
At September 30, 2009 the MLP Group had a total of 1,789 employees, constituting a fall of 241 people compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to a fall in the number of marginal part-time employees. Without taking the number of marginal part-time employees into account, the number of employees has remained constant at 1,534 (1,533) despite the acquisition of the independent financial broker ZSH at the start of 2009. It should however be noted that we outsourced part of our IT to a large IT service provider on August 1, 2009. Within the framework of this action, 55 employees in this areas were offered the opportunity to become employees of our IT partner Hewlett Packard (HP).
Further information concerning the development of personnel expenses and the employee structure are contained in the section “Profit situation” and in the notes.
