Description
Orion, a textile company specialising in ultrasonic welding and cutting of flexible materials, has announced the recruitment of 120 employees by the end of 2020. In June 2019, one of its main customers in the luxury leather goods sector entrusted it with a major contract. To meet the new production target, Orion must therefore recruit 60 people in 2019 and 60 more in 2020. Each employee involved in this activity must first receive 400 hours of training.
The recruitment procedure is managed by the public employment service (Pôle emploi) on platforms that make it possible to recruit employees with no particular diploma or experience but validate their dexterity and their ability to perform the requested manual tasks.

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.
