Bank of Nova Scotia is reducing its workforce in the Canadian banking division to enhance long-term profitability.
According to a memo by Aris Bogdaneris, leader of the division, the changes aim "to prioritize only those activities that drive the most meaningful impact for our business."
"I want to acknowledge that a transformation of this scale is not easy, especially when it means saying goodbye to valued colleagues,"
Although the exact number of job cuts was not specified, the move is part of the firm's efforts to boost profitability.
