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 German sportswear company Adidas will be hiring 2,800 new employees worldwide. More than 800 of these new employees will be hired in Germany.
Adidas will mostly be reoccupying open vacancies, but a part of the new hirings are newly created jobs. New hirings will mainly be working in Adidas stores but also in the digital sector, IT and Data & Analytics.
Currently, Adidas has 62,000 employees worldwide, with 7,700 located in Germany.
