American Express to Cut 5% of Global Workforce Amid Efficiency Drive
American Express announced plans to cut about 5% of its global workforce, approximately 3,500 jobs, aiming to improve efficiency and agility amid rising costs and increased competition for premium cardholders. Despite a 28% profit increase to $3.7 billion in the third quarter, the company is restructuring to streamline decision-making and invest in technology, including artificial intelligence. The job reductions are part of a broader strategy to enhance innovation and operational effectiveness rather than a response to declining demand.
