Description
The high-tech consultancy company Cybercom will dismiss 80 out of 360 employees in southern Sweden. The dismissals will take effect from mid-March 2010. Employees in Malmö and Lund are affected. The company employs around 360 people in that region. The internal restructuring is due to notices of cancellation from customers and the changing market situation. In February 2009, Cybercom East had dismissed 50 workers.
The Cybercom Group employs around 1,900 people worldwide, most of them in Scandinavia. The group supplies IT consultancy services in security, portal solutions, mobile services, and embedded systems. Cybercom offers its services to companies in the telecom, industry, media, banking and financial services, retail and the public 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.
