Description
Disneyland Paris, part of the American multinational Walt Disney Company, plans to hire 1,500 permanent workers in 2025 across several departments. It is a part of its broader annual recruitment campaign, which typically hires between 7,000 and 8,000 employees. This year, recruitment will primarily focus on the hotel, client relations, and entertainment sectors. Nearly 2,500 positions will be available in the food and beverage department, where labour shortages are most acute.
Most of these roles are renewals, as the park refreshes about half of its workforce each year. However, Disneyland Paris also has a growing need for more workers due to the expansion of Walt Disney Studios and the addition of a new village.
The recruitment campaign is targeting workers from across Europe, with casting calls scheduled in Seville, Naples, Copenhagen, Oslo, London, and Dublin to attract talent with diverse language skills. In France, recruitment events will be held in Lille, Marseille, Lyon, Tours, and Montpellier.
Several prior large restructurings have been recorded in the ERM database, the most recents reported the hiring of 1,500 workers in 2023: Disneyland FR-2023 and 1,000 planned job losses in 2021: Disneyland Paris 2020 - FR.

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.
