John Lewis has announced plans for additional workforce reductions over the next five years, confirming potential job cuts of up to 11,000 within the retail partnership.Â
This figure represents 10% of the current workforce, as reported by the Guardian.Â
The job losses are expected to include redundancies and a decision not to fill vacant positions.
John Lewis says the cuts are part of a strategy to return the business to profitability. The group, owned by its workers, known as Partners, employs 76,000 people across supermarkets, department stores, and its head office.
