A massive shoe retailer now announces a new wave of layoffs to hit headquarters this summer, affecting over 700 employees.
Nike has announced its ‘second phase’ of mass layoffs, effective June 28, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing.
A total of 740 employees will be impacted in the retailer’s home state.
The layoffs are part of the 2% workforce reduction Nike announced in February, which is taking place across two phases, the company confirmed via email.
Nike said job titles and the number of employees in each category would be provided at a later date, once the company has determined them.
Bumping rights are not available for the impacted employees, reports Retail Dive.
“Nike’s always at our best when we’re on the offense. The actions that we’re taking put us in the position to right-size our organization to get after our biggest growth opportunities as interest in sport, health and wellness have never been stronger,” Nike said in a statement.
“While these changes will impact approximately 2% of our total workforce, we are grateful for the contributions made by all Nike teammates.”
The layoffs are tied to a cost-savings plan Nike unveiled in December, which is aimed at generating up to $2 billion in cumulative savings over three years.
Based on the company’s last annual report, the layoffs to 2% of its total workforce will impact more than 1,600 people.
Savings from the plan are set to be reinvested in driving growth, innovation and profitability.
