Retrenchment of employees, this time at HP
The financial report for the financial quarter ending in October shows that the sales statistics of HP computer systems have decreased.
At the same time as the corona epidemic began, the number of computer systems purchases increased. Many students and employees had to do the work remotely and through their computer systems in difficult corona conditions. For this reason, a new wave of buying computer systems was formed in the market. But this exciting growth did not continue and the market situation returned.
HP has announced in a statement that the company’s “future transformation plan” can save costs. The company plans to turn around its financial situation in the next three years, and to achieve this goal, it has decided to lay off about 4,000 to 6,000 employees worldwide. Doing so could save the company around $1.4 billion in costs.
By October 2021, HP had about 51,000 employees. In 2019, this company adjusted between 7,000 and 9,000 people from its workforce. The company’s income in the fiscal quarter ending on October 31 has decreased by 0.8% compared to the same period last year. The company’s revenue in the personal computer systems sector has increased by 13% and reached 10.3 billion dollars. These figures have made this company think about retrenchment.
