WPP, the London-based advertising and marketing company, is reducing its workforce as part of cost-cutting efforts aimed at improving profitability. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the company implements job cuts that affect about 1.3% of its workforce. At the end of June, WPP reports it has 97,388 employees following the reductions. The company frames the move as part of broader measures to drive profit recovery, without indicating that the cuts are tied to a specific geography or business line in the available reports. Both outlets describe the same overall scale of staffing reduction and the same year-to-date headcount figure. The information reflects WPP’s staffing position at the end of June and the company’s stated intention to manage costs in the context of its financial performance. No additional details on the specific roles, locations affected, or expected timeline for further restructuring are included in the supplied material.
