Singapore – Global multinational fast-moving consumer goods company Unilever has announced a slew of layoffs and role reorganisations across its team in Singapore. It is worth noting, however, that the number of employees affected by this has yet to be disclosed.
A spokesperson for Unilever’s press office in London has confirmed the news to MARKETECH APAC, stating that they are doing everything they can to support their colleagues during these times.
“As we continue to respond to the needs of our consumers faster, we have taken the strategic decision to relocate some Personal Care roles, currently based in Singapore, to our markets across Asia. A number of roles will remain in Singapore, while some roles will be impacted. We are doing everything we can to support our colleagues during this time,” a Unilever spokesperson from its Unilever press office in London told MARKETECH APAC.
Unilever has made significant layoffs in the past years, including 1,500 management jobs around in January 2022 as well as several retrenchments across its plants in New York in November 2023.
The company joins Lazada as one of the companies whose layoffs this year have also affected teams in Singapore.
