Canva Restructures, Cutting 1,271 Jobs with Comprehensive Severance Package
Canva announced a major restructuring affecting 1,271 employees, about 22% of its global workforce, due to slowed growth and technological changes including AI competition. The company plans team consolidations, role changes, relocations to central hubs, and increased office presence. Laid-off employees will receive at least six months' salary, extended healthcare where applicable, career support, and can keep their company-issued MacBooks. Canva also offers grants to support new ventures, with CEO Melanie Perkins describing the move as the hardest in the company's history.
