Description
The UK-based car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a subsidiary of Tata Motors, has announced that it will cut 2,000 non-factory jobs worldwide in the following financial year.
The company motivates the jobs' cut and the cost-saving measures as necessary 'to become an agile organisation', also in view of the recently announced 'Reimagine' plan to achieve net zero carbon emissions across the supply chain, products and operations by 2039.
Additionally, JLR is continuing its transition to the production of electric vehicles while trying to retain the feeling and power of a luxury combustion engine model; JLR declared that it would produce only electric cars by 2025. Under the plan ‘Reimagine’, the company is to invest GBP 2.5 billion (€2.9 billion) annually.
JRL, owned by India’s Tata Motors, has almost 40,000 employees globally. The company has factories in the UK, Slovakia, India, China and Brazil.

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.
