Divestitures are a crucial form of corporate restructuring, with broad implications for firms and their employees. In this paper, three hypotheses are analysed, looking into the positive relationship that divestiture proximity has with employee turnover, using a longitudinal dataset from a large, highly diversified European MNE.
This paper investigates the outcomes of corporate divestitures from the largely overlooked perspective of the divesting firm’s remaining employees.
