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.
Majorel, an international service company specialising in customer experience services, has announced an employment redundancy plan (ERE) in Spain affecting 133 employees.
The affected company’s workplaces are located in Barcelona, Madrid, Jerez de la Frontera, Salamanca and Zaragoza. The company has indicated that the adoption of this ERE measure is due to technical, organisational and productive reasons.
Majorel announced a previous ERE affecting 223 employees last October 2023 Majorel España-2023-ES. In October 2023, the ERE was announced to take place in order to guarantee the company's employment stability and business continuity.
