Walmart announced on Tuesday that it’s planning to cut hundreds of jobs at its corporate headquarters and will relocate a majority of its U.S. and Canada-based remote employees to three offices.
“We are asking the majority of associates working remotely, and the majority of associates within our offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and our Toronto Global Tech office, to relocate,” Donna Morris, Walmart’s chief people officer wrote in a memo to its US campus associates on Tuesday.America’s largest private employer, with 2.1 million workers globally, stated that most of the relocations will be to its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, while others will move to its offices in the San Francisco Bay Area or Hoboken, New Jersey.
In a memo sent to employees by Donna Morris, the company’s chief people officer, she announced that the decision to relocate employees and ask other remote staff to come back into the office was made to facilitate better innovation “and move even faster.”
“In addition, some parts of our business have made changes that will result in a reduction of several hundred campus roles,” Morris said in the memo. “While the overall numbers are small in percentage, we are focused on supporting each of our associates affected by these changes.”
“We also believe it helps strengthen our culture as well as grow and develop our associates,” she said in the memo.
The retail giant also said it was reducing “several hundred” roles in its headquarters due to new changes in some parts of its business, without elaborating further.
