Tyson Foods intends to close three of its corporate offices and move the workload carried out at those offices into the company’s world headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas.

The company announced that decision in the form of a press release, issued on October 5.

The three affected offices are located in Chicago and Downers Grove, Illinois, and Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. Downers Grove is a suburb of Chicago.

In announcing the decision, Tyson said the move will “foster closer collaboration, enhance team member agility and enable faster decision making, positioning Tyson to win with its team members, customers and consumers.”

Employees at those three offices will begin a phased relocation process in early 2023.

“Tyson’s diverse portfolio of products and brands provides us with an unmatched strategic advantage to serve our customers,” Tyson Foods President and CEO Donnie King said. “Bringing our talented corporate team members and businesses together under one roof unlocks greater opportunities to share perspectives and ideas, while also enabling us to act quickly to solve problems and provide the innovative products solutions that our customers deserve and value.”

Along with these changes comes the expansion of Tyson’s world headquarters, which will include indoor and outdoor spaces designed to foster collaboration, connection and creativity. It will also include a number of features to enrich Tyson Foods team members’ work experience by accelerating change and innovation through diverse and dynamic spaces including state-of-the-art technology.

More details on this multi-year campus development, which will include the remodel of some existing facilities, will be announced in the coming months.

The announcement of the consolidation of offices follows several recent changes to the company’s upper management team. Those include the departure of Chris Langholz, president of Tyson’s international operations, and Noelle O’Mara, president of the Tyson Prepared Foods division. Stewart Glendinning, formerly the chief financial officer, succeeded O’Mara, while Amy Tu, who previously served as chief legal officer & secretary, global governance & corporate affairs, succeeded Langholz. Glendinning was succeeded by John R. Tyson, formerly the chief sustainability officer.

Tyson Foods is the largest broiler producer in the United States and the country’s fifth largest turkey producer. It is also a major pork and beef producer.
