P&G Slashes 7,000 Jobs, Aims to Streamline Operations
Procter & Gamble to Eliminate Approximately 7,000 Positions
In a significant shake-up, global consumer goods titan Procter & Gamble (P&G) reveals its intent to slash around one in six jobs from its non-core divisions, potentially affecting approximately 7,000 employees[1]. This move forms part of a broader restructuring aimed at trimming down non-essential activities and bolstering operational agility[1][2].
The corporation, renowned for brands like "Lenor", "Ariel" detergents, "Pampers" diapers, and "Braun" razors, currently maintains a workforce of around 100,000 individuals[1]. However, P&G has set its sights on shedding certain product categories and possibly exiting specific markets, paving the way for the divestment of specific brands[1]. As of now, the exact product categories and markets are undisclosed; further details are expected to be unveiled in July[1][3][4].

The Commission has not yet adopted a decision regarding the potential acquisition of P&G's finance division by a major investment company, as the business restructuring by P&G is still underway.
In the wake of P&G's plan to streamline operations and divest certain product categories, analysts are closely monitoring the financial implications for the company.
