Monday.com To Cut 20% Of Workforce As It Expands AI Strategy

Monday.com, the Israeli workplace software company, is laying off about 630 employees, or roughly 20% of its workforce, as it restructures the business to support a leaner operating model and accelerate investment in artificial intelligence.

Restructuring Around AI

In a regulatory filing, the company said the workforce reduction is intended to better align resources with its AI strategy, which has become a central focus of its product development.

Earlier this year, Monday.com expanded its AI offering by introducing the Monday.com AI Work Platform, designed to integrate AI agents into day-to-day business workflows.

The platform includes a no-code app builder, a customizable AI agent, workflow automation tools and a chatbot capable of generating reports, updating dashboards and assisting with routine tasks.

Part Of A Wider Industry Trend

Monday.com’s restructuring reflects a broader shift across the technology sector, where companies are reducing costs while increasing investment in AI development and infrastructure.

According to Layoffs.fyi, tech layoffs rose sharply in May, with 78% of companies citing AI-related restructuring as a factor behind job cuts this year. More than 122,000 technology roles have been eliminated worldwide in 2026, according to the tracker.

Restructuring Costs

Monday.com expects to record restructuring charges of between $45 million and $55 million as a result of the layoffs. The move highlights how software companies are reallocating resources to support AI-focused products and services as competition in the sector intensifies.
