Description
Intesa Sanpaolo, one of the main Italian banking institutes, reached an agreement with the sectoral trade unions, which envisages some measures aimed at managing 600 job cuts. In particular, the agreements provides for economic incentives for voluntary dismissals and the recourse to the sectoral “solidarity fund” for workers who will reach all the requisites for retirement within the end of September 2017.
The job cuts are part of reorganisation and merger processes that have involved some sectoral or territorial Intesa Sanpaolo banks, that is Banca Infrastrutture Innovazione e Sviluppo, Casse Risparmio Umbria, Neos Finance, Intesa Sanpaolo Personal Finance, Banca Adriatico and the central administrative division of the bank. Moreover, the agreement envisages the creation of 100 new jobs: the workers will be hired with apprenticeship contracts starting from January 2014.
Intesa Sanpaolo has around 70,000 employees in Italy.

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.
