Ethics in the digital workplace
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 luxury group LVMH has announced plans to recruit 25,000 young people under the age of 30 worldwide, by 2022. In France, LVMH will recruit nearly 5,000 young people through internships or apprenticeships, as well as 2,500 through permanent employment contracts.
The Group also announced it is continuing to help young people build their careers through several initiatives carried out in partnership with schools and universities in France.
According to the HR manager, to recruit young people is 'a question of survival' for the group, as LVMH experienced a 'shortage of talent in the restaurant industry, in-store sales, jewellery and leather goods'.
LVMH brings together brands of wines and spirits (Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, etc.), fashion and leather goods (Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Céline, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, etc.), perfumes (Guerlain, etc.), jewellery (Bulgari, Tiffany, etc.) and watches (Chaumet, Tag Heuer, etc.). It is also active in selective distribution (DFS, Sephora), hotels (Cheval Blanc) and the press (Les Echos-Le Parisien).
