Ford Motor Co. is seeking to eliminate about 1,000 salaried positions in the U.S. through a voluntary buyout program as it tries to realign operations amid its electric-vehicle transition.
The move is designed to help Ford “match our business priorities with the critical skills needed to turn around our automotive operations” and build more electric vehicles under the Ford+ program, a spokesperson said in an email Thursday. Staffing adjustments, including hiring and separations, are part of a multiyear process to ensure talent is appropriately distributed, the company said.
