In a letter to employees, CEO Greg Williams said that about 2,250 employees, mainly in the United States, would be laid off in phases, starting immediately and continuing through next year. An Acrisure spokesman would not specify how many employees were laid off this week. The letter promised “comprehensive severance” and extended benefits. “This decision affects colleagues who have contributed meaningfully to building Acrisure, and was not taken lightly,” Mr. Williams said in the letter. “It was driven by how work must evolve as we build the company we need for the future.” The letter said that the company was using AI, data and automation to reduce manual work. “We have seen client-oriented work that took days or weeks reduced to minutes. We need more of this thinking and broader adoption across the company.” Acrisure announced last year that it would lay off 400 accounting staff due to automation.
