Xerox to Lay Off 468 Employees

Your Houston News reports that Xerox is cutting back its Houston staff as a result of a change in business conditions for one of their clients.

The OEM plans to close the call center operations working on behalf of Sprint Customer Care at the Xerox Commercial Solutions, LLC in Houston. The closure was based on the client’s changing business requirements. The layoff will be effective as of Sept. 30, 2014.

Kevin Lightfoot, vice president of corporate communications for Xerox, said, “The changing demands of Xerox’s clients produce cycles of hiring. We continue to hire new employees in many locations and will continue to hire in Houston to meet the needs of other clients.”

He said “separation packages will be provided to those who qualify and employees will be able to apply for other open positions in the company”.

Xerox confirms it will continue its presence in Houston.
