Novo Nordisk is cutting some 9,000 staff across its global operations, including around 5,000 in Denmark, in a bid to generate around $1.25 billion in annualized savings through 2026. The layoffs, which amount to an 11% headcount reduction, will begin “immediately,” and Novo expects to incur 9 billion Danish Kroner ($1.41 billion) in one-off costs, which will reflect in third-quarter 2025 results.
