Description
Dutch financial group ING plans to expand its banking business in the Czech Republic and create 100 new jobs. In the first half of 2018, ING Bank Czech Republic intends to expand retail banking by two new products, current accounts and consumer loans, while in 2019 it will introduce mortgages. The expansion will require recruitment of further 30 employees by the end of 2017, on the top of the current 270 staff, and some 50 to 70 new employees in 2018. Until now, the bank focused on savings accounts and share funds in the retail segment, and on corporate lending.

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.
