Description
Italian bank Cariparma announced its 2016-2019 industrial plan, that entails a net headcount increase of 200 people. The employment increase is the result of 600 new hirings and about 400 incentivised early retirements.
Cariparma has been part of the French group Credit Agricole since 2007. The management announced that the new industrial plan is very important because it invests on human resources and young workers in times of severe crisis for the banking sector.
Unions expressed satisfaction with the plan and praised the commitment to give access to managerial positions to women as announced by the bank.

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.
