TORONTO – The Hudson’s Bay Company on Tuesday announced it was laying off 2% of its workforce, or about 250 employees, mostly in Canada.
The major retailer explained that these layoffs would impact positions in its e-commerce operations and in its physical stores.
Spokeswoman Tiffany Bourre said the changes come as the retail sector navigates under “significant external pressures”.
She added that the company was “realigning its strategic priorities and increasing the efficiency of its operations.”
Ms Bourre said the decision was not easy and the company is committed to treating everyone with fairness and respect.
