[Canva Restructuring Affects 1271 Employees, 22% of Total Staff] According to a recent announcement by Canva on November 5th, the company will adjust its organizational structure, the location of some teams, and the required positions and skills, affecting 1271 people, or 22% of its total workforce. Some employees will face job changes or be required to relocate, and the company will also lay off some staff. Canva co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins stated that the company's growth has slowed for the first time in a decade, and the company will integrate its product, growth, and platform teams, streamlining hierarchical structures. Departing employees will receive at least six months' salary and can retain their company-issued MacBooks; departing employees who intend to start their own businesses or launch community projects can also apply for a $10,000 grant, in which Canva will not acquire ownership or equity of their projects.
