Description
The hotel chain Scandic is opening a new hotel- Scandic Göteborg Central- in central Gothenburg by June 2022. The chain has announced the recruitment of 170 new people in all the departments within the hotel: 120 will be permanent positions and 50 will be summer jobs. The recruitment process will start in mid-January. The hotel will be one of the largest in Gothenburg.
During 2021, Scandic has shown a good recovery despite the tourism and hospitality industry being one of the sectors most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The employers’ organisation Visita has estimated that the industry will recover to pre-pandemic levels in late 2023/early 2024.
Scandic is the largest hotel chain in the Nordic countries and counts over 280 hotels in 130 locations and over 10,000 employees.

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.
