Slalom Consulting announced a workforce reduction of approximately 7% in September 2023. Contemporary reports put its workforce at about 13,000, making the reduction roughly 900 people—but the available reporting does not establish 900 as an exact, company-confirmed total.
How many Slalom employees were affected?
CRN reported that Slalom was beginning to lay off about 7% of its roughly 13,000 worldwide employees. Multiplying those rounded figures yields just over 900, which explains the headline estimate; it is arithmetic based on approximate inputs, not a separately confirmed final count. CRN’s September 2023 report and GeekWire’s contemporaneous coverage both characterized the impact as about 900.

When did the layoffs happen, and what did Slalom say?
The restructuring was announced in September 2023. CRN reported that CEO Brad Jackson announced the decision on LinkedIn and reproduced his explanation. Jackson described it as a “painful decision” made after exploring options with senior leaders, the executive committee, and the board, citing significant shifts in the industry and the need to plan for the future. The statement is available here through CRN’s account of the announcement; the original LinkedIn post was not independently available in the retrieved coverage.
Which offices and roles were affected?
The reporting does not provide a complete breakdown by office, location, or job role. CRN said Jackson did not specify which offices would be affected. The available reports also do not establish a final exact total or severance details, so those specifics should not be inferred from the approximate 900 figure.

How to interpret Slalom’s current footprint
Slalom’s newsroom currently describes the company as having 54 offices in 12 countries. That is present-day company context, not a breakdown of the 2023 cuts or evidence that the layoffs caused later changes to Slalom’s strategy or footprint. See Slalom’s newsroom.
