Allbirds last week laid off 23 employees, or 8% of its global corporate workforce, the DTC footwear company said by email on Wednesday.
The layoffs followed an evaluation of “roles and processes in each department, and in each market, to ensure our operating structure is set-up for the next phase of growth. In this process, we looked for ways to streamline workflows, reduce duplicative efforts, and put past learnings and operational insights into practice,” according to a brand spokesperson.
The company declined to provide specifics regarding severance, but said the decision was not “made lightly, and we are supporting impacted team members to give them a soft landing.”
