LOUISVILLE,
Ky. (AP) — A health insurance provider says it's laying off more than 800
people.
The
Louisville, Kentucky-based Humana announced Monday it'd be cutting 2% of its
workforce by the end of the year, with some employees being let go as early as
Thursday. Severance will be provided.
The
Courier-Journal reports that Humana employs 41,600 nationwide, so 2% would be
about 832 people. The company says it expects to keep 12,000 in Louisville.
Spokeswoman
Kate Marx stated the company began evaluating its "work and cost
structure" this year. Marx didn't say where cuts will be made.
Officials
said employees are encouraged to apply for the some 2,000 other open positions
nationwide.
Humana
is one of the country's largest privately run Medicare providers. It laid off
more than 1,000 during cuts in 2017.
