Chicago, Illinois-based GoHealth, an online marketplace platform for Medicare plans including Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Medicare Part D, is conducting a major reduction in force.
The reduction will impact 800 employees.
According to a company CEO Vijay Kotte...
"I’m writing to share that today we are taking the difficult, but necessary, step of significantly reducing our agent workforce and support teams. We fully recognize how unsettling this news will be for impacted team members and those of you who will remain on our team after today. Please know that this decision was not made lightly. It was only after an exhaustive analysis of our business needs and extensive consideration that we agreed this was the path forward to secure our long-term future and enable GoHealth to achieve its full potential."
"Finally, upon return of signed HR documents, employees will have the option to retain their company-issued laptops, licensing and carrier appointments, and be released from non-compete limitations – transition support that we hope will facilitate attainment of a new role."
"Our top priority is to act with integrity and facilitate a smooth transition for impacted team members."
"As we move forward, our focus continues to be on quality in all aspects of our business. We will emerge from this change a leaner organization that reflects the highest standards for enrollment and member retention within our agent workforce and marketing investments. You are an important part of our quality commitment and future success, and I’m confident in the resiliency and adaptability of our team."
"There has never been a more worthy time to be focused on improving access to healthcare in America – and with these changes, we will be best positioned to sustainably deliver on that promise."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
