Description
Porto Carras, a big resort in Chalkidiki, announced it is to reduce the number of employees by around 80-90. 46 people have already been dismissed, and another 5% of its 800 employees is to be made redundant.
In addition to these measures the management has also announced that the Hotel and Casino in Porto Carras will now operate on a 6-month basis instead of year-round. This implies that a number of remaining employees will be offered seasonal contracts instead.
The restructuring is a result of a drop in the turn-over in the last 3 years.

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.
