Description
The German multinational company Bosch will open a business service centre in Vecsés – in Pest county – in April 2021. As a result of the investment, more than 200 new jobs will be created over the coming years.
The centre will give HR support – such as labour administration, payroll, recruitment, and training – and IT support for the Bosch units operating in five Central-Eastern European countries. Later, the range of services provided may expand. A new digital system will also be adopted to support the company’s employees to handle all HR-related administrative procedures.
The regional service centre is part of a comprehensive project of the Bosch group, initiated in 2019, to increase cooperation and enhance synergy between the subsidiaries. The investment cost is close to €19 million, one-third of which is covered by a non-refundable government subsidy.
Bosch operates nine subsidiaries in Hungary and has a total of 15,000 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.
