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.
Food group Nutreco announced that its compound feed subsidiary will restructure and cut 90 full time job positions. Nutreco's compound Hendrix will further optimise its supply chain in the Benelux and implement a new logistics information system. As a result, Hendrix will close its production site in Meppel in the Netherlands and relocate the production to its plant in Helmond, as a result of which 90 jobs will be cut.
