Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
JYSK, a Danish home and garden furnishing retailer, has announced the creation of over 170 new jobs across its Italian retail network and corporate offices. These recruitments are mainly related to the company’s ongoing expansion of its Italian operations in 2025–26, with new stores recently opening in several regions, including Lombardy, Apulia, Calabria and Sicily.
The expansion plan involves mostly hiring staff as sales assistants, with numerous hires both part time (20, 21, 24, 30 hours per week) and full-time. The job opportunities are available throughout the country, in cities such as Ancona, Genoa, Prato, L'Aquila, Bolzano, Olbia, Vercelli and many other locations. New roles will also be for store (and deputy) Managers. In several stores, logistics representatives are also sought, sometimes with integrated sales tasks. Alongside the searches for the sales area, selections are also open in the corporate field, in particular at the Milan offices and in the North East for customer service, office and travel assistants and real estate developers.
