Description
Dutch parcel delivery company Red je pakketje announced the opening of a new parcel sorting centre in Rijen. The new sorting centre will employ around 120 people and the company expects that a growth towards 300 employees should be possible. As of August 2021, it is still unclear when the employment effect will take place and when the recruitment will finish.
The location in Rijen was chosen because of its proximity to the cities of Breda and Tilburg as well as excellent connection to several highways. The centre will be the seventh sorting centre of Red je pakketje in the Netherlands, with the company already scouting for an eighth location.
Red je pakketje is a Dutch parcel delivery company specialising in same-day delivery. The company was founded 5 years ago and has been one of the fastest growing Dutch companies in recent years.

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.
