Monday.com Reports More Than 600 Roles Cut in AI-Led Restructure
The enterprise software company is shifting to a leaner operating model while pursuing AI-driven growth.
Monday.com has reported plans to cut more than 600 roles—about 20% of its workforce—as it restructures around a leaner operating model and an AI-driven growth strategy.
The September report, published by ITPro, links the restructuring to AI strategy but does not establish that AI systems directly replaced the affected employees. The announcement is therefore best understood as an AI-linked business reorganisation, rather than confirmed automation of specific jobs.
The move follows a wider run of announced workforce reductions in technology and other sectors where companies are reallocating investment towards AI or using it to support smaller operating teams, according to the Associated Press.
For employers planning a similar restructure, the distinction matters. Document the actual duties being removed or changed, rather than treating an AI strategy as sufficient justification. In Australia, consult employees before the decision is final, assess genuine redeployment options, and ensure any resulting dismissal meets the requirements for genuine redundancy.
- Monday.com reported more than 600 planned role reductions, equivalent to about 20% of its workforce.
- The restructuring was attributed to a leaner operating model and an AI-driven growth strategy.
- The reporting does not prove that AI directly replaced the affected employees.
- Employers should distinguish an AI-linked restructure from confirmed automation of particular jobs.
For employers: For an Australian restructure, identify the work genuinely no longer required, consult before deciding, and assess redeployment before relying on redundancy. An AI investment plan alone does not establish a genuine redundancy.
