In 1995, the Company implemented a new organizational structure and improved its operating efficiency. GMP ended the year with 350 employees (measured in full-time equivalents), a reduction of 23 from the beginning of the year. The number of customers served per employee increased by 8 percent, from 216 customers per employee in 1994 to 233 customers per employee in 1995.

In conjunction with its reorganization, GMP offered a voluntary retirement incentive plan, which 24 of 29 eligible employees accepted.
