Description
Coventry Council has announced it will cut 311 jobs.
The local authority assured it will not make any compulsory redundancies as 281 workers are leaving through voluntary redundancy or early retirement schemes, and a further 370 workers had expressed an interest in these schemes. Nonetheless, the council is unable to allow these 370 workers to take redundancy or retirement as they occupy posts that are essential to its business. The council is looking to redeploy other workers into these roles to allow the workers interested in the voluntary schemes to be released. An additional 30 posts have been cut by terminating workers on short term contracts.

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.
