據TechCrunch報道，該公司解雇了約500名員工。Noom證實，這家數字減肥公司本周又進行了一輪裁員，這是健康科技公司一係列裁員行動中的最新一起。據科技博客TechCrunch報道，Noom解雇了約500名員工，約占員工總數的10%，很大程度上影響了它的教練團隊。這標誌著該公司今年的第二輪裁員。Insider在今年4月首次報道稱，作為教練模式戰略變化的一部分，Noom將裁減約四分之一的教練。“Noom在過去幾年中經曆了非凡的增長，我們的結構必須能夠使我們持續長期增長。我們最近做出了減少Noom員工數量的艱難決定。我們非常感謝他們對Noom做出的貢獻，我們希望他們繼續取得成功，”Noom的一位發言人在給MobiHealthNews的郵件中寫道。Noom成立於2008年，於2021年獲得5.4億美元的F輪融資。當時，彭博社(Bloomberg)報道稱，該公司估值為37億美元。 The company said it planned to use the cash to expand outside weight loss and later launched a stress management product dubbed Noom Mood. But Noom has faced pushback for its weight loss model, which some have critiqued for too-low calorie recommendations and insufficient support from coaches with high caseloads. Earlier this week, TripAdvisor announced the hire of Noom CFO Mike Noonan, who will take over for its retiring executive at the end of the month. The company is also looking for a new CEO to replace cofounder Saeju Jeong, who is staying in his role until Noom finds a successor. A number of other digital health and health tech companies have announced layoffs this year. Connected fitness giant Peloton recently laid off another 500 workers , its fourth round of reductions this year as the company executes a financial turnaround plan. COVID-19 testing and vaccination startup Curative announced it was laying off 109 workers last month as it shifts focus to launching a new health plan. Tags:
