A declining trend in the company’s headcount also continued. In May last year, CRN reported the A/NZ
entity employed 5980 employees in 2016, which was down by 1803 staff from prior year’s 7783. In its
2017 report, IBM A/NZ reported employing 4913 staff, indicating a decrease of some 1000 staff from
the year before.
IBM A/NZ paid $18.1 million in termination benefits in 2017, down from $49 million paid across the
group in 2016.
Methinks the A/NZ folks should be preparing for even more deeper RA's with this news.
