[SINGAPORE] Procter & Gamble (P&G) has so far stayed silent about how its planned reduction of about 15 per cent of its global non-manufacturing workforce over the next two years will affect its operations in Singapore.
The consumer goods giant had on Thursday (Jun 5) announced at a Deutsche Bank conference in Paris that it would cut up to 7,000 such roles worldwide, and undertake a corporate restructuring that would involve divesting some of its brands.
P&G employs some 2,300 people in Singapore, which is home to its Asia-Pacific headquarters and a major research-and-development facility; the company also announced plans two years ago to build a manufacturing facility in Singapore.
