Description
Docler Holding, a Luxembourg-based company involved in adult entertainment, technology, e‑commerce, digital media and event management, announced the layoff of 115 employees in Luxembourg. The restructuring is expected to be completed by the end of the summer.
The restructuring is primarily motivated by the company’s push toward digital transformation and the adoption of AI across its operations.
Social partners involved include the trade union LCGB, which was asked by Docler’s staff delegation to assist in negotiations but was unable to prevent the layoffs. The union’s involvement appears to have been limited to consultation rather than active negotiation.
Docler Holding employs approximately 800 people in total, of whom 115 (about 14 %) are affected by the current restructuring. The company’s restructuring process, which began over a year ago, is projected to finish by the end of the summer, with all remaining staff continuing to work in Luxembourg. Overall, the company has 1,500 employees across 5 countries
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.
