Description
Tauron Polska Energia, a Polish group of energy companies, is introducing a program of voluntary redundancies and estimates that approximately 1,500 employees will leave by the end of 2012. Some 726 employees are estimated to become redundant by the end of 2010.
Some companies within the group started introducing the program in June and each company may introduce its own means of implementation. Two of them, Enion and Energa Pro are introducing early retirements and redundancy compensation allowances (designed for employees who have not yet acquired the right to retire). PKE, on the other hand, is introducing a program aimed at lowering labour costs, which targets only those employees who have already acquired the right to retirement pension.
Tauron Polska Energia is one of the largest groups in the energy sector with 28,000 employees.

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.
