As at December 31, 2010, the total workforce of the Enel Group numbered 78,313 employees, of which 40,930 employed by Group companies abroad.
In 2010, the workforce declined by 2,895 employees as a result of net new hires and terminations (-2,560) and changes in the scope of consolidation involving a number of Group companies (-335). Terminations were primarily the result of early retirement incentive schemes.

The most significant changes in consolidated companies for the period were as follows: the reorganization of renewable energy businesses (which called for these activities in Spain and Portugal to be transferred from the Iberia and Latin America Division to the Renewable Energy Division) with the creation of the new company Iberia; the sale of the business unit of Enel Distribuzione in Bolzano; the sales of Endesa Hellas and Endesa Gas; and Enel Green Power’s 3sun joint venture.
