Description
On the 23rd of April, the restaurant and bakery company Groupe Le Duff announced plans to recruit 150 employees in 2025. This decision is related to their investment of 100 million euros in Normandy to transform a production site in Falaise (Calvados) of the Frial brand (frozen ready meals), which belongs to the group, into a Bridor production site.
This transformation is part of a context of strong growth for BRIDOR products, symbols of French know-how and excellence. This expansion is accompanied by a comprehensive recruitment and training program across the globe. Opportunities are available in all areas, from production to sales, including research and development and marketing. The LE DUFF Group's industrial division doubles every four years, and currently has 28,000 employees. With this new production capacity, the Group aims to double again by 2030.

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.
