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.
Kruidvat, a shopping store specialised in the retail sale of cosmetics, is about to recruit 100 additional employees. The Dutch company already possessed 165 stores in Belgium with 1300 people employed. The company is a serious competitor for the cosmetics stores 'DI' (see fact sheet n°12976) and thanks to its good results is recruiting sellers and store managers.
