Munich Re’s Ergo Insurance Unit to Cut 1,000 Jobs Amid AI Shift
What’s Happening at Munich Re?
Ergo, the primary insurance unit of Munich Re Group, is reportedly planning to cut approximately 1,000 jobs by the end of 2030.
The workforce reduction comes as the company further integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into its existing operations.
Which Roles are Affected?
A spokesperson for Ergo said the job cuts affect “simple and repetitive tasks” in telephony and claims processing.
While German workers are impacted, it remains unclear if other regions (i.e. Canada) will also be trimmed.
