Description
Ceridian, a Scottish human resource company, has said it will create more than 250 new jobs in Scotland, after securing a grant. Ceridian is extending operations in the west of Scotland and claimed at least 250 posts would be created over the next three years. The firm supplies HR services including payroll, performance management and employee assistance programmes. The Scottish Executive awarded the firm a grant of 2.6 million GBP to expand its Glasgow operation, which employs 80 staff. The scheme provides grants for investment projects that will create or safeguard jobs in areas designated for regional aid under European community law.
Doug Sawers, managing director of Ceridian in the UK, said: 'It is our objective to scale our Glasgow facility into the most modern and effective centre for human resources customer support and software development in the UK.'
'The decision to expand our operations in western Scotland follows an extensive search, during which a number of different regions in the UK were considered.'
Deputy First Minister, Nicol Stephen, said: 'The decision by Ceridian to increase its investment in western Scotland is very welcome and has been won in the face of strong competition.'
'First class job opportunities will be created in Glasgow in the fast growing HR outsourcing sector.'

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.
