30 Jan 2024 --- Department stores and retailers are issuing job cuts and filing for bankruptcy amid economic stress. John Lewis Partnership (JLP), is reportedly slashing thousands of jobs to boost its bottom line. While the company will not confirm how many jobs will be lost, it tells Personal Care Insights it has a plan to return to profit, “which involves investing heavily to enhance our customer offer, technology, stores and becoming more efficient. This is working, and performance is improving, but as we have already announced, that sadly means reducing the number of partners we need in our business.”
