Canva CEO Melanie Perkins announces staff changes and layoffs affecting 22 percent of workforce
Canva co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins announced significant staff changes and layoffs affecting 22 percent of the company's employees today.
Role adjustments and relocation orders
Some workers will face role changes or requests to relocate to centralised hubs. Others will be laid off as part of this restructuring effort. The CEO stated that small adjustments were insufficient for the company's future needs.
Organizational consolidation plans
Canva is merging its Product, Growth, and Platform teams into a single product organization. The company also aims to simplify layers and consolidate overlapping responsibilities across departments. Sydney will serve as the primary home for more product teams and specific specialties.
New office attendance expectations
Starting in January, most hybrid employees are expected to spend two to three days in an office each week. This schedule depends on individual circumstances and specific team requirements. The shift aims to foster shared context and close collaboration among staff.
