Description
Croatian public broadcaster (Hrvatska radio i televizija – HRT) plans to lay off over 800 employees by March 2025 as part of a business consolidation plan. This aligns with its “New Direction” strategy, which aims to reduce staff by 30% from the current level of 2,700.
Two hundred employees have already accepted severance packages, while the deadline for others to accept severance packages is 31 March 2025. Workers eligible for severance pay should have at least five years of service at HRT and more than 24 months until the legal retirement age.
To rationalize the operating costs of HRT, the government has allocated €28 million in the state budget.

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.

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.
