Description
The Croatian Post, the state-owned company and provider of universal postal service in the country, announced a business expansion, creating 120 new positions.
The reason behind this business expansion is that many employees of the Croatian post have left their jobs due to the company having to reduce salaries as a result of increased market competition in the past. This has caused a serious shortage of available workers. The Croatian Post is now hiring postmen and delivery persons for the whole territory of Croatia.
1,016 Croatian Post offices represent one of the largest service and retail networks in Croatia. In addition to postal and logistics services, it also offers financial and retail services throughout Croatia.

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.
