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.
The Bel Group, a renowned French multinational cheese manufacturer, is set to hire 113 new employees at its factory in Évron (Mayenne). Among the 113 job postings, approximately one-fourth will be specifically targeted at technicians and cheese-making specialists, while the remaining positions are open to a broader range of applicants. This recruitment initiative aims to ramp up cheese production in response to the growing demand in the United States and Europe. The new workers will help establish a weekend production line to meet this demand, enhancing the factory’s operational capacity and efficiency.
The Bel Group operates six factories worldwide in Slovakia, France, and North America.
