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 specialist in alarms connected to a remote surveillance service Verisure has announced the recruitment of 150 employees by 2024, achieving its goal of creating 500 jobs in Angers. The company already employs 350 people there. The reason behind the recruitment is to support the company's growth. Its CEO explains that 'the turnover of the remote surveillance market has doubled in the space of 12 years. We are recording annual growth of 16%, while the sector as a whole is growing at 8%'.
Two former announcements were recorded in the ERM Database with 150 job creations in November 2020 (Verisure-2020-FR) and 100 job creations in January 2020 (Verisure-2020-FR).
