In 2000, the number of IBM employees, including employees
in wholly owned subsidiaries, increased nearly 9,000 year
over year. The company’s strategic growth areas
—
services,
software and technology
—
continue to drive the increase;
Global Services hired in excess of 19,000 people in 2000.
Acquisitions, such as the LGS Group Inc. in Canada, con-
tributed to the increase, as well. The company continues to
reduce its infrastructure and to withdraw from certain busi-
nesses, offsetting some of the growth.
The increase in employees in the less than wholly owned
subsidiaries over 1999 reflects growth primarily in sub-
sidiaries within the company’s storage, personal computer
and microelectronics businesses in China, and services in
Japan and Australia.
The company’s complementary workforce is an approxi-
mation of equivalent full-time employees hired under
temporary, part-time and limited-term employment arrange-
ments to meet specific business needs in a flexible and
cost-effective manner.
