Lavoro shares surge 10.06% intraday as HP’s Work Relationship Index highlights AI-driven workplace transformation and rising job opportunities across sectors.

Lavoro surged 10.06% intraday, driven by a wave of positive labor market developments in Italy. Key catalysts included the launch of "Job Connection" recruitment events, expanded job opportunities in retail/logistics (40,000+ openings), and government measures enhancing workplace safety (e.g., digital badges for construction, banning high-risk internships). Additionally, HP’s Work Relationship Index highlighted opportunities for companies to address employee dissatisfaction through improved recognition and flexibility, aligning with Lavoro’s focus on workforce solutions. The surge also coincided with sector-specific hiring drives by firms like Poste Italiane, Deloitte, and Thales Alenia Space, signaling strong demand for labor services and reinforcing optimism in the Italian job market.
