Description
Banking and financial services company Getin Noble Bank announced that it plans to implement a new collective dismissal programme at its units across Poland. The company announced that up to 350 jobs will be cut in the face of new customer preferenced caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction of interest rates in Poland which is expected to have a significant impact on the bank's interest revenue.
In February 2020, the bank began the implementation of a redundancy programme which was supposed to affect up to 250 positions by the end of June 2020.
The company was formed in 2010 as a result of the merger of Getin Bank with Noble Bank. Currently, the bank has a workforce of around 4,200 employees in Poland. A previous restructuring in the bank took place in September 2019 (320 jobs cut).

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.
