About

Avaya, a prominent player in the unified communications and collaboration industry, laid off approximately 180 employees in late July 2024, representing about 3% of its workforce. The company framed this as a strategic restructuring rather than mass layoffs, aiming to reallocate resources toward new roles with differentiated skills. This move is part of a broader transformation to focus more on serving Global 1500 enterprises, requiring a shift in sales strategy and product offerings. The restructuring coincides with a leadership transition, as CEO Alan Masarek prepares to retire, with Patrick Dennis set to continue the company's existing vision. Analysts view these changes as necessary for Avaya to stay competitive and deliver on its strategic goals in the enterprise CX market.
