Workhuman, an Irish human resources technology firm, is laying off approximately 10% of its global workforce, affecting around 130 employees out of a total of 1,300. The company, which has major offices in Dublin and Boston, announced the cuts in March 2023 as part of a strategic realignment to balance growth with profitability amid a volatile economic climate. CEO Eric Mosley cited the need to invest in new strategic initiatives while exercising prudence. This marks the third major layoff announcement affecting Irish tech workers in a week, following similar moves by Meta and Amazon. Despite the reductions, Workhuman plans to continue hiring in key areas and offered affected employees a severance package including a minimum of three months' pay plus additional benefits.
