Description
The textile group Devanlay is recruiting 200 employees by the end of 2013 to increase the production of wearing under the brand Lacoste. A recruitment program was launched in February.
It is reported that with its recruitment plan, Devanlay wants to increase demand and strengthen its industrial base. Devanlay claims that it is difficult to find qualified personnel for its activities and will therefore double its training budget, bringing it to 3 % of its payroll in 2012. Additionally, it wants to develop apprenticeships and partnerships with the training centre and the employment public service ("Pôle Emploi").
Devanlay is one licensed clothing maker and distributer of Lacoste apparel wear. The company has eight manufacturing units in France and employs just over 1,000 employees in several regions (Aube, Marne, Meuse, etc.).

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.
