Kohl's has slashed about 10% of its corporate workforce.

The move comes weeks after the struggling retailer announced it would be closing 27 "underperforming" stores in 15 states by April. That leaves about 1,120 Kohl's locations in operation.

"The real estate closures and the corporate workforce reduction are both actions to support our commitments to increase efficiencies and improve profitability in the business for the long-term benefit of our associates and customers," the Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based company said in a Friday statement.

Kohl's said in November that it expects 2024 sales to be down 7% to 8%. The retailer reports its full-year sales in February.

According to Kohl's, more than half of the total cuts will come from closing open positions while the remainder of the positions were held by current associates.

"Knowing the impact this has on our associates, we took this decision very seriously," Kohn's said. "All impacted associates have been informed and we provided competitive severance packages to help support their transition."
