Canva Announces Changes and Layoffs Affecting 22% of Employees

Canva has announced a reorganization, role changes, and layoffs for some employees. Perkins stated that the company will merge the Product, Growth, and Platform teams into a single product structure, reduce management levels, and consolidate overlapping functions.

Sydney will become the primary hub for a larger number of product teams and some other specialists. Starting in January, most employees on a hybrid schedule will be required to work from the office two to three days a week, depending on regional specifics.

For departing employees, Canva has provided at least six months of salary, 12 months of medical insurance, and assistance in finding new employment.
