Description
The Danish company Maersk Supply Service has announced that it will dismiss 130 employees over the next two years in Kgs Lyngby. Maersk Supply Service mainly provides support and transportation to oil and offshore windmill companies.
The reason behind this internal restructuring is that the company will focus all its activities on off-shore projects, especially helping with oil and off-shore wind facilities. Thus, on-shore services are being wound down. Furthermore, Maersk Supply Service will focus on the Atlantic and North sea areas and will stop activities elsewhere. The 130 employees will be dismissed during the next two years, with the first dismissals in September 2023. At present, the company employs approximately 1.000 employees.
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.
