Description
Food and nutrition company Glanbia is to cut 60 jobs on a phased basis over the course of 2025. This represents approximately 10% of the total of 590 staff currently employed by the company in Ireland.
As part of a restructuring of its Irish operations, the company is to establish a new ‘Glanbia Enterprise Solutions’ function that will centralise the delivery of finance, HR and IT services to the business. In addition, some functions will be outsourced to third parties. As a result, there will be a reduction of 60 roles across finance, HR and IT.
The job losses will be a mix of voluntary and compulsory redundancies and will impact all three of the company’s locations in Ireland in Kilkenny, Waterford and Dublin.

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.
