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.
Récréa, a company that manages leisure facilities, mainly public swimming pools and aquatic centres, has announced the recruitment of 400 employees between now and the end of the year, including 187 permanent positions. The 400 new employees will join the group's 2,400 workforce (up from 900 ten years ago). However, the group also reported difficulties in recruiting lifeguards and swimming instructors. At the end of June, there were still 213 seasonal contracts to be filled for the summer season.
