Description
Holaluz, a Spanish company dedicated to the commercialisation of electricity and the installation of photovoltaic panels for self-consumption, has presented an Employment Redundancy Plan (ERE), leading to the loss of 200 jobs.
According to the company, the job cuts will focus mainly on the teams of installers, sales and support roles for solar operations.
The ERE will affect 200 workers or 27% of the company's workforce. The background of the internal restructuring is the slowdown in the residential solar business, which has generated losses of 20.9 million Euros in the first half of 2023.

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.
