Workday is implementing its second workforce reduction of 2026, planning to eliminate approximately 500 to 525 positions. This reduction represents about 2.5% of its global workforce and is primarily concentrated within the product and technology divisions as the company seeks to realign its organizational structure with strategic growth priorities.

This action follows a previous reduction in February that impacted roughly 400 workers in global customer operations. The company expects restructuring charges to range between USD 65 million and USD 85 million, which will impact its fiscal third-quarter financial results. Despite these cuts, Workday indicated it will continue targeted recruitment in specific priority areas and locations.
