Manitoba Public Insurers have been trimming their staff, as reports of one-fifth of their management team has been removed.
The insurer said the changes are responding to the recommendations made after a review by Ernst and Young, which found -among other things- that 30 percent of management roles had three or fewer staff reporting to them.
A total of 32 positions were removed in an effort to bring down costs and provide better organizational stability.
The report found it wasn't always clear who was responsible for which initiatives, and that a lack of clear responsibilities among leadership led to significant overspending in at least one project.
