In 2023, Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA had 80,418 employees worldwide. This marks a significant decrease from the 164.69 thousand recorded in the previous year. The lower figure for 2023 was mostly attributed to the company's sale and deconsolidation of Majorel. Most of the company's employees were working for Arvato, RTL Group, and Penguin Random House.
