Hilton Worldwide notified 36 information technology workers at its Memphis data center this week that their jobs would be outsourced this fall. The reduction is part of a chainwide plan to farm out certain I.T. functions under previously announced agreements with technology giants IBM and AT&T. Hilton filed notice with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development of plans for a downsizing effective Sept. 30, department spokesman Jeff Hentschel said. The company informed affected employees Wednesday, said Hilton spokeswoman Tracey Moss. More reductions are expected in the ranks of call center or data center workers, but Moss said it's too early to tell how many. These decisions are now in the hands of our suppliers who manage those work streams, she said. "Until that knowledge transfer has happened, we don't know the impact. We are extremely dedicated to finding them jobs within Hilton Worldwide or within those partners."
