Description
Italian banking group Unicredit has announced the hiring of 200 senior bankers.
The group intends to strengthen its private banking operations with the goal of exceeding 100 EUR billion of assets under management by 2018 from the current 90 EUR billion, thus consolidating its position in the domestic market. The strategy also entails the creation of a new subsidiary company in charge of managing operations of customers with financial assets valuable more than 5 EUR million. The new company, Cordusio, is expected to appoint further 100 senior bankers through internal relocation and new hirings.
The new employees will be initially enrolled on fixed-term contracts, to be possibly switched to open-ended ones.
Unicredit is currently implementing a large-scale restructuring plan at its Italian facilities (for more details, see UnicreditIT-2014).

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.
