Description
Kreiskliniken Dillingen-Wertingen, a non-profit healthcare provider in Bavaria, is cutting 190 jobs at its Dillingen and Wertingen sites as part of a court-ordered reorganisation process under self-administration. Employees in the central emergency department and surgery with orthopaedics at the Wertingen site are particularly affected.
The restructuring serves to economically stabilise both hospital sites and is based on a medical concept approved by the district council. The job cuts will be carried out in a socially responsible manner on the basis of a social plan negotiated with the works council; employees will be shown job alternatives in the North Swabia care network.
Before the reorganisation, the district clinics employed around 900 staff and are part of the North Swabia regional care network.

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.
