(Reuters) – Clorox Co on Thursday said it would cut about 200 positions, or 4% of its non-production workforce, as it looks to keep a lid on costs amid worries of an economic slowdown.<\/p>\n

The Pine-Sol manufacturer joins a list of companies – from tech firms to retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond Inc and Wayfair Inc – that have reduced their workforce in the face of growing recessionary fears in the United States.<\/p>\n

“We’re on track to generate ongoing annual savings of approximately $75 million to $100 million, with benefits beginning this fiscal year,” Chief Executive Officer Linda Rendle said in a blog post. <\/p>\n

“Transformation isn’t a one-time event, and we’ll continue to implement changes as we execute this transformation,” she added.<\/p>\n

The household staples maker said in February that it had planned for more layoffs over the next few months in a bid to rein in costs. <\/p>\n

In September, Clorox said as a result of its streamlining efforts, it had eliminated nearly 100 positions in 2022, or roughly 2% of its non-production workforce. <\/p>\n

As of June 30, 2022, the company employed about 9,000 people worldwide, with 72% in the United States.<\/p>\n
