Average Headcount by Segment
Shows the average number of employees in each business segment, indicating where the company is investing in human resources and potential areas of growth or restructuring.Headcount across NAST, Global Forwarding and Corporate & Other peaked in 2022 and has been pared consistently into 2026, driven by targeted restructurings and Lean AI automation; management confirmed Q1 workforce reductions (avg headcount down ~12% YoY) and expects double‑digit productivity gains, largely back‑loaded to H2, to sustain margin expansion. That strategy bolsters near‑term profitability and funds buybacks but raises capacity risk if volumes recover and increases leverage from aggressive repurchases.
