Why does Canva cut 22%?

Canva's decision to cut 22% of staff, or 1,271 jobs, is a significant restructuring. Companies often make such cuts to reduce costs, streamline operations, or adapt to changing market conditions, especially after a period of decelerated growth. This scale of job loss can trigger specific legal obligations in many countries, including the UK, regarding consultation with employees.
