Description
The Public hospital of Montpellier (Centre hospitalier universitaire (CHU) de Montpellier) has announced the recruitment of 750 people in 2019 to cope with the growth of its activity and 250 departures in retirement. The establishment, which has 2,500 beds and 11,000 employees, will therefore create 500 net jobs in 2019. For example, the public hospital will open a 12-bed continuous surveillance unit, which will result in 30 recruitments of new employees. Half of the positions are for nurses and nursing assistants, while 20% are for administrative services and profiles at the Bac level with a specialisation. In this establishment, which is governed by public law, 85% of the employees are civil servants, mainly hired on renewable fixed-term contracts (of over 6 months). They then have access to competitions allowing them to access a permanent contract. Nurses, for example, generally switch to permanent contracts after twelve months.

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.
