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.
Inter Mutuelles Assistance (IMA) has announced the creation of a new site in Limoges (Haute-Vienne) with the recruitment of 100 employees in the spring 2024, with the aim of reaching a workforce of 350 by 2027. IMA is an economic interest group created in 1981 following the project of three mutual insurance companies (MAIF, MAAF and MACIF) to pool their resources to create their own assistance company. At first, IMA was housed in a former barracks building provided by the local council, while a former clinic was being refurbished to house the IMA assistance centre. The municipality of Limoges has indicated that it has mobilised all the resources available within Limoges Métropole from July 2023 to find a solution to the IMA Group's development needs. Limoges will be IMA's third French site dedicated to travel assistance, after Niort and Rouen, with 120 job creations announced in 2018 FR-IMA-2018.
