Description
NCC, a company in building and civil engineering construction, has announced the discontinuation of the NCC Komplett project affecting 200 employees working in the production site in Hallstahammar and the head office in Solna. Approximately 100 employees will lose their job (mainly those who work in the factory in Hallstahammar) by May 2008 and another 100 are likely to be offered new positions in the company. The employees who will become redundant will be helped to find a new job through external measures.
The aim of NCC Komplett was to produce prefabricated building parts to speed up the building process and reduce construction costs. The project is terminated because the expected cost reductions based on this production method were not achieved. Initiated in 2002, the project costed about SEK 1 billion.

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.
