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 wholesale bakery Harry-Brot has announced the creation of 100 new jobs at its production site in Troisdorf, North Rhine-Westphalia. The reason for the job creation is the expansion of production at the Troisdorf site with an investment volume of around €100 million. The company is looking for 100 new employees, including bakers, machine and plant operators. The start of production is planned for the first quarter of 2024. Harry-Brot employs 4,875 people in 10 bakeries and 35 distribution points as well as seven logistics locations with an annual turnover of €1.215 billion in 2022.
