Expedia Group trimming workforce by 3%, part of 2025 restructuring

What’s going on at Expedia Group?

Expedia Group is reportedly planning to eliminate approximately three per cent of its workforce as part of an ongoing restructuring.

A source told Yahoo! Finance that the reduction will mostly affect the company’s product and technology teams. However, Expedia’s finance department will also be trimmed.

“As part of a broader effort to strengthen our business and position the company for long-term growth, we are restructuring parts of our organization,” the company said in a statement.

“These are difficult, but necessary, decisions to ensure we sharpen our focus on strategic priorities and remain well-positioned to deliver for customers and partners.”

The latest round of job cuts comes after the company scaled back its marketing team in March.

It’s unclear if Canadian employees at Expedia Group are affected by the latest workforce reduction.

According to LinkedIn, the company has more than 390 workers in the country.
