Procter & Gamble said Thursday it will cut 7,000 jobs over the next two years, or about 15% of its non-manufacturing workforce.
In a statement, the consumer products giant said it wants to boost productivity and cut costs as it competes in what the company describes as an “increasingly challenging environment.”
Procter & Gamble, whose brands include Tide detergent, Bounty paper towels and Pampers diapers, has a total global workforce of 108,000 people.
