Description
The French company Aroma Zone, specialising in natural beauty and wellness products, which currently employs 550 people, plans to hire an additional 400 by the end of 2025. The company is experiencing exceptional growth, with a turnover increasing by 56% in 2024 and by 70% in the first months of 2025.
Against this backdrop of growth, the company's management has chosen to strengthen its internal structures (logistics, human resources). It plans to expand geographically by opening new stores across France, particularly in Sénart, Lyon, Anglet, Marseille and Angers. Aroma Zone also intends to continue expanding its product range (cosmetics, hygiene, nutrition, and perfumery) to attract new customer segments, such as men and young people, and to assert its position as a leading brand in the natural skincare sector.

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.
