Description
The state enterprise Lesy České republiky (LČR), which manages forests in Czechia, has announced that it will make 103 employees redundant by the end of 2023.
In most cases, the employment contracts will be voluntary terminated, some employees will retire or will be offered a new job within the organisation.
In the last six years, LČR has been troubled by bark beetle attacks in Czech forests and recruited many technical workers in forestry as well as seasonal workers. At present, the strongest impact of the calamity is subsiding, leading to the decision to implement an internal restructuring plan.
The main activity of the company, which currently employs about 3700 people, is the management of the majority of forests (1.17 million ha), which are owned by the state. LČR was founded in January 1992 by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic.

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.
