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.
French train operator Transilien, a subsidiary of SNCF Voyageurs, has announced that it will recruit 900 new employees in the Paris region in 2024.
The recruitment includes 400 train, RER and tram drivers, 300 station agents for customer service roles and 130 maintenance technicians. The effort seeks to restore service quality, especially on the RER lines, in preparation for increased demand during the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. Transilien will also operate the new western extension of RER E, connecting Saint-Lazare to Nanterre-La Folie.
Transilien is a part of SNCF, the state-owned railway operator. In 2023, Transilien recruited 1,350 staff in the Paris region: SNCF 2023-FR
