Description
Ebm-papst Slovenija, the German manufacturer of small electrical motors and fans for household appliances, announced the creation of 100 jobs in 2023. Most new employment will involve production workers, production team leaders and machine setters.
The company started to produce heat pump fans in February 2022 when the new production programme required the employment of 70 workers (Ebm-papst 2022 -SI). The production is expanding since the demand for these fans was higher than initially expected due to natural gas shortages.
Business enlargement will create 100 more jobs over the next year and another expansion is planned for 2024. As a result, the company is already looking for land for a new plant.

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.
