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.
HelloFresh, the German company specialised in packed lunches, has opened its first preparation centre in Lisses (Essonne), which already employs 600 people, and has announced plans to recruit a further 300 employees over the next two years. The new hires will be in operations, distribution and management. At this site, employees prepare the fresh, local ingredients needed for a meal and deliver them to customers, who must then cook the meal using pre-established recipes. The group, established in 2011, is based in Berlin and employs around 20.000 people.
