Description
On 19 July 2017, the ATM and cash register manufacturer Diebold Nixdorf announced to cut 400 jobs in Germany and about 2,000 worldwide within the following years.
200 out of the 400 job cuts are part of an earlier announced restructuring plan, see (Wincor Nixdorf, 2015).
Diebold Nixdorf is the result of the merger between the formally independent companies Diebold based in the US and Wincor Nixdorf from Germany. According to the management, the job cuts are necessary due to unsatisfying business figures.
The company's headquarters, situated in Parderborn, will be affected mainly but also other locations.
Diebold Nixdorf employs about 3,600 staff members in Germany and some 25,000 worldwide.

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.
