据《金融时报》近日报道，德勤英国公司将裁员约3%，即800多人。裁员主要集中在咨询、财务咨询和风险咨询部门，不过也有一些审计和商业服务部门的人被裁了。《金融时报》指出，今年下半年需求放缓和人员流失率低是导致此次裁员的主要原因。
德勤英国首席执行官Richard Houston在声明中表示:
“今天，我们宣布了一些有针对性的业务重组，其中一些职位可能会面临裁员的风险，但还需征求意见。此前，我们的业务增长速度有所放缓，再加上持续的经济不确定性，这意味着我们必须考虑我们的业务形态。我完全理解这对那些受影响的人来说是一个令人不安的时刻，我们将尽一切努力，以关心和尊重的态度为个人提供支持。”
就在宣布裁员前一周，德勤全球(Deloitte Global)宣布上一财年的收入达到破纪录的649亿美元，这不仅是打破了德勤的纪录，也创下了全球会计师事务所有史以来的最高纪录，详见《创纪录！德勤全球2023财年业务收入649亿美元！涨14.9%!》。据FN去年9月报道，截至2022年5月31日，德勤英国的可分配利润增长了21%，达到7.11亿英镑（约合8.88亿美元），去年每位合伙人的平均收益达到105万英镑。
原英文报道如下：
Reported earlier today by Financial News, Deloitte UK is cutting approximately 3 percent of its workforce or more than 800 people. The cuts are concentrated in consulting, financial advisory, and risk advisory though a few audit and business services folks also got the axe. FN cites slowing demand in the second half of the year and low attrition as the drivers behind today’s cutting of fat.
Said Deloitte UK chief executive Richard Houston via statement:
“Today we announced some targeted restructuring across our businesses, which may — subject to consultation — put some roles at risk of redundancy. This follows a slowdown in growth, which, combined with the ongoing economic uncertainty, means we have to consider the shape of our business. I fully understand this is an unsettling time for those people affected and we will be doing everything we can to support individuals with care and respect.”
It was just six days ago that Deloitte Global announced record-breaking revenue of $64.9 billion for its last fiscal year, not only a record for Deloitte but for every global accounting firm ever in the entire history of global accounting firms. As FN reported last September, distributable profit at Deloitte UK was up 21 percent to £711 million ($888 million USD) for the year to May 31, 2022, bringing last year’s average profit per partner to £1.05 million.
The layoffs will continue until morale attrition improves.
