Description
Ebm-papst Slovenija, a producer of small electrical motors and fans for household appliances, announced new hirings of 50 workers in 2022 and has just recruited 84 in December. The expansion is a consequence of the relocation of production programmes in Germany and are then transferred to Slovenia, where labour costs are lower. In December 2021, the sheet metal punching programme for electric motors and fans was moved from Germany to Slovenia, hiring 84 new workers. This year, ebm-papst is relocating production of fans for heat pumps, professional kitchen hoods and commercial refrigerators to Slovenian branch hiring 50 additional workers.
The company currently employs 519 workers (including the workers relocated last year). Apart from some experts in quality, informatics, procurement, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, most new employments will involve production workers and mechatronics.

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.
