Reading, Pennsylvania-based EnerSys, a provider of stored energy systems and battery technology, has announced an 11% reduction in its non-production global workforce as part of its strategic organizational realignment to support future growth.
The reduction in force will impact 575 employees, primarily corporate and management positions. The Company expects the separations to be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
CEO and President Shawn O’Connell noted, “Today’s actions, while difficult, are necessary for EnerSys to remain competitive in our markets. We’ve spent the past six months listening, evaluating, and testing how we can best serve our customers, deliver stronger returns, and build a more agile organization. This decision reflects our commitment to those priorities, ensuring we have the right structure in place to operate more efficiently, optimize cross-functional collaboration, and deliver even greater value - for our customers and shareholders. EnerSys is powered by an incredible team, and this decision in no way reflects the dedication or contributions of the individuals impacted. We are committed to supporting our employees through this transition with care and respect. This action is part of a strategic restructuring plan under the Company’s new leadership to better align resources with current business priorities and long-term objectives."
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, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
