Description
Nova kreditna banka Maribor (NKBM), the second largest Slovenian bank, will cut more than 100 jobs by the end of 2014.
This is due to the bank’s severe financial troubles caused by a heavy increase in non-performing loans. A significant part of these loans has been transferred to the Slovenian bad bank.
Most of these cuts will be implemented via soft methods such as retirement, non-prolongation of fixed-term contracts and early retirement based on individual agreements.
In 2015 and 2016, a further reduction of employment will be made, so that the present number of employees (1,264) will be reduced by 250 to 300 staff in total.

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.
