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.
Pronar, a Polish agricultural machinery and tractors manufacturer, announced the launch of three new production halls for which it will be able to hire at least 200 new employees. The management believes that with the increase in production, following the launch of the new halls, the new hires could reach 1,000.
Two of the production halls are added to already existing plants. One of them will be dedicated to producing elements made of plastics based on polyester. The second hall will support the production of the harvesting machines at the Pronar factory in Strabla. The third hall, in the Narew factory, will be dedicated to producing electric cable bundles for machines, which will be offered to clients on the domestic and foreign markets.
Pronar was founded in 1998. Currently, the company employs around four thousand employees in plants located in several towns in the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
