Nielsen is set to move several jobs overseas as part of cost-cutting measures as the company begins another round of layoffs.
CEO Karthik Rao told employees Tuesday that the company will make “some tough choices” about the future of some employees, according to Inside Radio.
Nielsen is slated to move several jobs to India, Poland, and Mexico in an effort to limit costs. Nielsen has had employees stationed in Indian for roughly 40 years, with Poland and Mexico becoming new centers for the ratings company.
“As part of this effort, we will transition specific work to our GCCs, which means some of our global workforce will be leaving Nielsen as a result,” Rao told staffers. “We’ve been working with leaders over the last few weeks to determine which work will be transitioned to our GCCs and as such, which parts of our global workforce will be impacted. This process is expected to take time, and I know the uncertainty can be difficult.”
The upcoming round of layoffs will be the third over the course of the previous 13 months for the company. Last year, it began a round of layoffs to reduce its global workforce by 9% in September, following another round of layoffs that affected hundreds of employees in January of 2023, including upper management and executives.
