Monday.com has become the latest technology company to link artificial intelligence to a major workforce redesign. The Tel Aviv-based work management platform said it will reduce its staff by about 20%, or more than 600 employees, as part of a broader restructuring tied to product, marketing, and go-to-market changes.
In a message to employees, co-founder Eran Zinman said the move was not framed as a simple cost-cutting exercise or a replacement of people by AI. Instead, the company described it as a step toward a leaner operating model built around an AI-first strategy that has been taking shape over the past year.
Monday.com also expects restructuring charges of $45 million to $55 million, while still forecasting up to 20% revenue growth in 2026. That combination reflects a growing pattern across the tech sector: companies are trimming layers while redirecting resources toward automation, infrastructure, and AI-enabled products.
Broader industry data shows that this shift is not isolated. Many major tech firms have been reshaping teams as they invest heavily in AI systems, data centers, and new workflows. At the same time, some AI-focused companies are expanding hiring, especially in engineering and platform development, showing that talent is being redistributed rather than simply removed.
Within this evolving landscape, Monday.com stands out as another example of how software companies are redesigning themselves for a faster, more automated era. The next phase of tech growth may be defined less by size alone and more by how intelligently organizations adapt their teams, tools, and products to AI-driven work.
