Description
The jewellery manufacturer Van Cleef & Arpels has chosen the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region to open two new workshops that will lead to the creation of 600 jobs. 'From September onwards, there will be between 10 and 20 job creations, and then they will give themselves a year to welcome many more employees', explains Stéphane Rodier, Mayor of Thiers.
One of the workshops will be created in the Drôme department and the other in the Puy-de-Dôme department. The first workshop will open on the outskirts of Romans-sur-Isère, the second on the border between Dorat and Thiers. Each of the workshops will be able to accommodate at least 250 employees, in sites that are easily accessible from Lyon, Paris and Geneva - where the company is already established - in order to create strong synergies between the different production sites.
The second workshop will be located in Dorat, where several buildings for training, production and services for employees will be built. Here, too, an incubator will be set up, 'which will enable new talent to learn the essential gestures and develop their know-how throughout their apprenticeship', according to regional authorities.

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.
