Canva has announced a major reduction in its workforce, with Chief Executive Melanie Perkins saying the move follows what she called "our hardest year yet."
Perkins told staff that more than 1,000 employees will be affected, and that those people will either be made redundant or asked to change roles within the organisation.
The CEO characterised the announcement as a response to the company's difficult year, without providing additional operational details in the comments cited.
The decision marks a significant restructuring for the company. Further information about the timetable for the changes, which teams will be impacted and the support that will be offered to departing staff was not included in the statement.
