Canva Unveils New Workplace Products To Redefine Employee Experience

At its first international Canva Create event in Los Angeles today, Canva, an all-in-one visual communication platform, accelerated its focus on the enterprise, debuting the platform’s biggest overhaul in a decade alongside a range of new workplace products and services poised to redefine the way millions of people work.

"We are excited to introduce a revamped Canva experience and a suite of new products to empower every organisation to design,” said Melanie Perkins, co-founder and CEO of Canva. “As demand for visual content soars, navigating organizational complexity is more challenging than ever. We democratized the design ecosystem in our first decade and now look forward to unifying the fragmented ecosystems of design, AI, and workflow tools for every organization in our second decade.”

As visual communication becomes the status quo, Canva’s latest Visual Economy Report found 92 per cent of business leaders now expect employees in non-design roles to possess design skills. Canva’s new products unveiled on stage at Canva Create directly address this need by putting the power of design in the hands of the 99 per cent of employees without professional design training.

Introducing Canva Enterprise In a world of information and workplace technology overload, visual communication has become table stakes for enhancing engagement, unlocking productivity, and scaling brands. Canva Enterprise meets this demand with a subscription offering designed for large organisations with complex security, reporting, administration, and brand management requirements. With Canva Enterprise, large organisations can create large quantities of visual content and scale internal collaboration with ease. This offering also comes with more sophisticated admin controls and security to keep assets safe and on-brand.

New Canva UI Designed For Work For the first time in a decade, Canva unveiled a complete redesign of its core product experience. Built to fuel creativity and productivity in the workplace, the new UI speeds up workflows and harnesses focus.

Tailored Tools for Every Team Canva also introduced a range of tailored tools for every team consisting of several products, resources and templates customised for the needs of Marketing, HR, Sales, and Creative departments. This includes Canva Work Kits, new industry-curated collections of hundreds of craft-specific templates, from presentations to documents, built to enable teams to scale their output with easy-to-access tools. Work Kits are fully customisable and, with one click, can be branded using Canva’s Brand Kit. The initial Work Kits include resources such as:

· Human Resources: Onboarding decks, company newsletters, and job advertisements

· Sales: Pitch decks, sales reports, and sales proposals

· Marketing: Campaign content calendars, social media posts and campaign reports

· Creative: Creative briefs, production request forms, and brand strategy templates

Canva also introduced Canva Courses, a new offering designed to supercharge workplace learning. Courses, evolves Canva from a traditional design platform into an end-to-end platform for content creation, collaboration and now consumption too.

Canva Courses empowers users to turn existing designs like presentations, documents, and videos into sequenced interactive courses. From employee onboarding to upskilling and development, Courses can be assigned to individuals across an organisation, and progress can be managed from a central dashboard.
