In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, over 80 Novant Health employees are facing layoffs in August. The affected positions are predominantly in information technology, such as analytics developers, data engineers, and database administrators.
Novant Health has made changes to its Digital Products and Services (DPS) team by transferring some services to an external partner and shifting additional functions to Deloitte Digital. This move will reduce the use of other external partners by more than 90 percent and allow resources to be scaled so the organization can continue investing in creating a healthier future for the communities they serve.
The layoffs will affect approximately 300 team members across Novant Health’s almost 40,000 positions, representing less than 1% of the total workforce. Those interested may have the opportunity to join external partners or transition to other roles within Novant Health. The organization is providing resources to ease the transition for team members whose roles are being phased out and expresses gratitude for their service to Novant Health and its patients.
