The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Management of Vienna Airport announced an annual personnel reduction of 2-3% of its workforce, thus making around 100 (up to 126) employees redundant in the first year.
The newly implemented 2-men management team made their plans public at their inaugural press conference on 20 September 2011. Their management plan foresees a reduction of costs of 10-15% and an increase in productivity of 20% until 2015.
The workforce is to be reduced through an immediate recruitment freeze and job reduction measures are to take form of natural attrition. Direct dismissals are only to be enforced if a sharp slump in growth occurs. This measure comes after Vienna Airport had increased its workforce from 4,000 to 4,200 after a recruitment announcement in September 2010 (see fact sheet 16644).
The management expects that until 2010, the number of passengers in Vienna will amount to 30 million (in 2011, over 20 million passengers are expected). Thus, more than EUR 600 million are to be invested in the airport by 2015. In June 2012, a new (third) terminal is expected to open.

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.
