Headcount / Restructuring

PROCTER & GAMBLE Co · 2026-09-18 · Importance 34 · Surprise 42 · In source text

Procter & Gamble has reduced its workforce by approximately 5,000 employees under a restructuring plan. The reductions affect employees holding substantial amounts of P&G stock in 401(k) plans. Departing workers may face retirement-planning consequences because rolling company shares directly into an IRA can eliminate Net Unrealized Appreciation tax treatment, while distributing shares in kind to a taxable brokerage account may preserve that benefit.
