Description
TomTom, a Dutch provider of digital mapping and navigation software, announced the cut of 300 jobs worldwide.
Less than half of the job cuts will be in the Netherlands TomTom 2025-NL, where the company employs approximately 1,200 staff. The layoffs will affect employees involved in route planner development, sales, and customer service.
The move is part of TomTom’s effort to streamline operations and increase flexibility in product development by integrating AI more deeply into its processes. AI is replacing certain roles such as route planners, sales, and customer support staff. The company has been operating at a loss for the past two years, with a reported net loss of over €17 million in 2024.
Founded in 1991, TomTom has 42 offices across Europe, Americas, Asia-Pacific, and MEA region. Currently, the company employs about 3,600 people worldwide.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
