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.
Information technology company TietoEVRY has announced plans to cut around 250 positions worldwide in the Transform business area. Around 80 positions will cut in Sweden (TietoEVRY-SE-2022), 40 positions in Finland, 20 positions in Norway and 110 positions in India. The company has initiated cooperation negotiations and aims to complete the restructuring by the end of October 2022, however the exact timeline will depend on the legislation in each country.
The internal restructuring is related to the current economic situation, which includes increased high productivity requirements and unprecedented costs and wage inflation.
TietoEVRY underwent internal restructuring also early this year, cutting 600 jobs in Nordic countries (TietoEVRY-2022-WO).
TietoEVRY is a leading Nordic technology company with the headquarter in Helsinki, Finland providing services to thousands of businesses and public-sector customers in over 90 countries. TietoEVRY employs 24,000 people globally.
