Description
The Norwegian company for restaurants and nightlife Flott Gjort will hire 200 employees in cooking and waitering. The company is expanding to 13 new locations in 2022, whereby 10 of these locations are in Oslo. The company seeks to secure NOK 75 million with this expansion. During the pandemic, the restaurant industry had a decline in employment of 20 percent, and the company expects that it will be challenging to recruit in this industry. Flott Gjort has a plan for recruitment that involves being an attractive workplace by allowing the employees to adapt working life to the different phases of their lives. The company also has plans to establish an academy for restaurant operators, cooks and waiters in cooperation with other industry actors in order to give people career opportunities.
Flott Gjort was established in 2021, and has 12 employees as of today.

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.
