Acxiom Cites Workforce ‘Changes’ Amid Layoff Reports

1 min read

The Log Cabin Democrat in Conway and KARK-TV, Channel 4, have each reported word of an unknown number of layoffs at publicly traded data services company Acxiom Corp. of Little Rock.

Two weeks ago, the Cabin reported 13 layoffs companywide. And on Monday, the newspaper cited sources that said more layoffs were taking place this week. Yesterday, KARK Managing Editor Greg Yarbrough tweeted that the company confirmed that there have been layoffs, but it wouldn’t say how many. 

Arkansas Business didn’t get much more from an Acxiom spokesman, who told Sean Beherec late yesterday that:

We constantly evaluate ways to increase efficiencies, sharpen the focus on our core business and deliver outstanding service to our clients. The recent changes in our workforce are a result of that process along with the normal course of doing business in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.

The spokesman said there would be “no further comment.”

Acxiom (Nasdaq: ACXM) employs more than 5,000 people worldwide.

In February, the company reported a 72 percent decline in third-quarter net income as it exited one part of its business and ramped up another.
