Co-owner of Nova Poshta Volodymyr Popereshnyuk expressed a desire to create an efficiency department in the company - an analogue of the DOGE body in the US, which is headed by Musk.
As stated in his Facebook post, the decision may be made due to a significant increase in the scale of the business, so it is important to remove everything that hinders development.
"Right now, as the owner of Nova Poshta, I have a serious challenge. The fact is that we have GROWED. We have turned into a huge company with almost 30,000 employees, with a considerable management and administrative apparatus. But how to keep a company alive, capable of continuing to generate and implement wow ideas? One of the ideas is to create a company efficiency department, an analogue of DOGE," said Popereshnyuk.
According to him, businesses usually need all employees and it is very difficult to identify those who can be fired without losses for the company. "Our task is not so much to reduce costs as to expand the business, expand to other markets and innovate, and this is in no way correlated with staff reduction. On the contrary, it is important for us to maintain the team's motivation, interest in life and its development. So I decided to conduct an audit of the processes performed by all non-operational employees who do not touch the parcels. I plan to divide these employees into two categories - those who support the company's vital activities and those who develop and improve it. To give preference and resources to the latter. And most importantly, to find unnecessary and harmful processes that should be eliminated," the co-owner of Novaya Poshta concluded.
Recall, on January 20, 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order that changed the name of the United States Digital Services (USDS) to the United States DOGE Service with the same abbreviation (USDS). The main goal of DOGE is to modernize federal programs and reduce bureaucracy. The body is headed by billionaire Elon Musk. More than 100 US federal employees are already suing Musk and DOGE over illegal access to data.
