Description
The Italian public broadcasting company RAI is to reduce its headcount by at least 200 employees.
RAI currently employs about 11,000 employees and it is implementing a plan intended to reduce costs by proposing incentives to voluntary early retirement.
The company expects that 400 to 1,200 employees shall accept the offer and leave the company in 2018. The intention is to replace half of the exits with young new hires. Therefore the net job loss should range between 200 and 600.
Incentives to dismissals target both blue-collar and white-collar workers, including middle managers and orchestra directors.

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.
