Cabela’s Inc. reduced its workforce approximately 10% at its corporate headquarters in Sidney, NE.
After completing a review of its organizational structure, the company determined to reduce staffing levels in selected areas. The company expects approximately two-thirds of the reduction to come from leaving open positions vacant and one-third of the reduction to come from job eliminations. The company is offering severance payments and outplacement assistance to affected employees.
“This workforce reduction is an effort to reduce costs and improve efficiencies,” said Dennis Highby, Cabela’s president and CEO. “While this was a difficult and challenging decision, I believe it was necessary given the macroeconomic environment we are facing. We dont expect these changes to impact customer service.”
According to a report by the Omaha World Herald, Cabela’s employs around 1,500 people in its Sidney office.
