A dedicated Chief Enterprise Transformation Officer has been appointed to lead the execution of process redesigns and cost optimization efforts across the enterprise.

Portfolio reviews are ongoing to prioritize high-return core opportunities, including potential divestitures of noncore assets to strengthen the financial position.

The transformation program is expected to deliver $200 million in permanent annual cost savings by 2028; the company noted that applying these savings to the prior year's performance would represent a 110 basis point improvement to EBITDA margin in isolation.

Second quarter guidance assumes a continuation of existing trends, with the U.S. business expected to flip to low single-digit revenue growth as Experis trends improve.

Savings will be driven by centralizing recruiting, sales, and service delivery into global business service hubs, supported by Agentic AI and automation.
