Description
On 14 May 2013 Van Lanschot announced plans to cut 250 (FTEs) jobs in 2013 and 2014.
The recent announcement comes on top of the running restructuring programme, announced in 2012 involving 200 to 300 job cuts (see Van Lanschot-2012).
As announced the new job reduction plan is linked with the need for further cost saving measures and is going to be implemented by means of natural attrition though forced dismissals are not ruled out.
According to the company, the recent plan is under the framework of the general reduncy plan agreed with the trade unions in 2012 and will be submitted to the Works Council.

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.
