Culture Amp cuts 70 jobs in fresh round

Culture Amp has axed 70 roles, about 9% of staff, just months after its previous layoff and a major leadership change.

Employee engagement platform Culture Amp is cutting another 70 roles, shedding around 9% of its workforce in a fresh round of layoffs. The cuts land only seven months after the company eliminated 60 positions in November 2025.

Job losses span multiple teams as the company seeks to move faster on growth targets.

Culture Amp develops software that helps organisations measure and improve employee engagement, performance and culture. The company has already gone through several restructuring cycles, and this latest round is its third set of layoffs in three years.

In January, Culture Amp appointed a new chief executive from within its leadership ranks, while the co-founder shifted into an executive chair role. Management frames the cuts as a way to match spending and headcount with updated strategic priorities.

Leadership points to a rapidly shifting workplace landscape as the backdrop for the decision. Culture Amp says work patterns and employee expectations are evolving faster than most employers anticipated, forcing vendors to rethink product focus and go-to-market plans.

In response, the company is changing its internal structure and how teams collaborate, aiming to streamline execution and deliver new features more quickly. Headcount reductions are described as part of a broader reset, not a standalone cost-cutting exercise.

Culture Amp is making these cuts as customers reassess software budgets and workforce tools. The company is betting that a leaner structure will help it adapt to new workplace dynamics and stay competitive in employee engagement platforms.

Investors and customers now watch whether these organisational changes translate into sharper product direction and faster delivery. That tension between restructuring and the risk of losing talent will shape Culture Amp's next phase.
