Staples Layoffs: Head office staff axed in organizational restructuring
Staples Canada is scaling back its head office staffing levels this week, according to reporting by CityNews.
What’s happening at Staples?
“Staples Canada implemented an organizational restructuring, which does not impact associates in our retail locations,” a spokesperson for the office supply retail chain told the news outlet.
“This is part of an effort to streamline operations to ensure our organization continues to deliver exceptional products and services to Canadians.”
The layoffs follow the opening of six ServiceOntario locations inside Staples Canada stores on Feb. 1.
These launches are part of the province’s plan to close some ServiceOntario locations and move them to kiosks inside Staples and Walmart stores.
