CVS Health Faces Layoffs of Nearly 3,000 Employees Due to Ongoing Challenges
Layoffs Overview
CVS Health is laying off nearly 3,000 employees nationwide as part of a $2 billion cost-saving initiative. This comes in response to continued disruption and regulatory pressures faced by the company. A spokesperson confirmed that these layoffs represent 1 percent of CVS's overall workforce, primarily targeting corporate roles.
Reasons Behind the Layoffs
According to CVS spokesperson Mike DeAngelis, the decision is driven by evolving consumer needs and the need for the company to remain competitive. Despite the significant cuts, frontline jobs in stores and distribution centers will remain unaffected.
Support for Affected Employees

- Access to outplacement services will be provided.
- CVS will file a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) in Rhode Island.
