Description
Finnish bakery company Fazer Leipomot will hire 100 new employees in 2021. The company plans to open new bakeries across the country in 2020 and 2021.
According to the company, there is a growing need for bakers since the consumption of artisanal bread has increased. However, labour shortage in the sector may hinder the recruitment process, in particular around the capital area. Fazer Leipomot cooperates with some of the Finnish education providers in order to bring people with the right type of competencies to the sector.
Fazer Leipomot is part of Fazer group, one of the largest corporations in the Finnish food industry.

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.
