Nissan cutting staff at its U.S. headquarters

A market report has claimed that Japanese automaker Nissan is expected to cut its North American headquarters staff by as much as 25%. The company is in the process of shifting its employees this month from Gardena to the Nashville area.

This report was released by The Los Angeles Times reported in its Friday editions. The company employs nearly 1,300 managers, professionals and clerical staff at their center at Gardena. But they would be moving just around 1,000 professionals to their new setup at Tennessee.

The company aims to benefit from this move to cut costs in their management operations in the region without causing a furor in the market. Nissan’s chief executive has somewhat confirmed this move by saying that technological and organizational improvements will allow the Japanese carmaker’s new North American headquarters to be supported by a smaller staff.
