Description
Sergio Rossi, the San Mauro Pascoli-based footwear manufacturer owned by Lanvin Group, has initiated collective redundancy procedures affecting its approximately 180 employees. The workforce is currently under extraordinary wage supplementation through 31 December 2025. The redundancy procedure, opened on 16 September, operates on a voluntary basis, offering employees financial incentives to leave whilst allowing others to remain with the company.
The redundancy process occurs alongside advanced negotiations for the company's sale. Industry sources indicate that co-founders of a luxury brand distribution company are the prospective buyers, though this remains unconfirmed by the parties involved.
Trade unions have commenced dialogue with the company to manage the transition and preserve employment levels where possible.
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.
