Description
On 22 May 2013 Sensire, a Dutch health care and welfare organisation announced plans to dismiss all its permanent staff (800) and fixed term contract personnel (300).
The recent goverment decision to transfer the responsibility for home care to the municipalities, combined with the lack of information on what exactly are going to be the municipality needs for care in the coming year, is the background of these measures.
In this situation, Sensire does not want to carry the financial risk and has applied for a collective redundancy for all its employees. The eventual employment effects will probably be smaller since there is a possibility for some of them to be re-employed in the near future.
Updated, 07-11-2013: As announced, TSN and Zorgkompas will take over the 800 permanent staff. According to the sources, there will be no changes in the previous terms and conditions of employment.

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.
