Description
The Italian banking group Gruppo Bancario Credito Emiliano (Credem) announced the creation of a total of 300 new jobs planned for the year 2021, with 82 workers already hired in the first quarter of the year.
Strong focus will be placed on the commercial area – to which approximately 50% of new recruits will be allocated – but also on the IT area, constituting 20% of the new vacancies. The professional roles the bank is looking for are counter operators, junior IT profiles – to accelerate the digitisation of banking processes – and senior profiles to work as consultants.
The company has over 600 branches in Italy and employs a total of 6,219 employees in the country.

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.
