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.
Orwell Healthcare, an Irish private nursing home operator in the residential care sector, announced the creation of around 200 new full-time and part-time jobs following the near completion of a €30 million renovation and extension of its care facility. The new jobs will come on stream in the first quarter of 2026 when the company re-opens two newly renovated and extended private nursing home residences in south Dublin. The jobs include both part time and full-time roles and will include Clinical Nurse Managers, Staff Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, Social Care and Activities professionals, Accommodation and Facilities staff, and Reception and Administration positions.
