Canva, the Australian design platform, has announced a major restructuring that will impact over 1,200 employees, representing 22% of its global workforce. Co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins described this as the company's 'hardest moment' in its 13-year history, citing slowing growth and the challenges of integrating AI into its products. The restructuring includes job cuts, role changes, and relocations, with some employees being asked to move to centralized hubs, particularly in Sydney. Employees affected by the changes will receive at least six months' salary, 12 months of healthcare coverage, and support for job search and career coaching. Canva is also offering $10,000 grants to those interested in starting their own businesses or community projects. The company aims to simplify its organizational structure and reduce communication friction by merging its product, growth, and platform teams.
