Description
The state company Holland Casino is to cut 280 jobs at its 14 locations in the Netherlands, around 10% of the total workforce.
Holland Casino suffered from the seven-months closure, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reorganization had already been announced in December 2020, but it was still unclear how many jobs would be lost.
Part of the 280 jobs that will be lost will be realized through natural employee turnover. In addition, some of the employees make use of a voluntary severance scheme. Even if, redundancies seem unavoidable.
The current lockdown is in place until at least 2 March 2011, but reopening at that date is highly unlikely. Even after reopening, the company anticipates lower turnovers in case the pandemic is followed by an economic recession.

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.
