Description
Falck Baltics that resides in Estonia is formed of Falck Eesti, Falck Apsargs and Falck Security that operate accordingly in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Since 2004 the security concern Falck Baltics is owned by Group 4 Securicor which forms the largest global network of security operations worldwide. Falck Eesti itself is a group of seven different legal entities operating all over Estonia besides smaller islands. With an Estonian security services market share of 49 % Falck Eesti is the leading company of security services employing about 4000 people all over Estonia.
In April 2007 the company launched a new employment campaign offering a bonus (or prize) of 2000 EEK (128 Euro) to every employee who will be hired during the campaign. Hoping to hire 200 new employees all over Estonia by the end of April, Falck Eesti is the first company in Estonia using money to draw attention to vacancies. Also the employees already working at Falck Eesti can receive bonuses for recommending potential employees to the company. Falck Eesti experiences a lack of labour force like most large enterprises in Estonia that is why attractive and innovative employment campaigns are valued.

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.
