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 risk-management consultancy Dekra Industrial has announced that the group will cut 135 jobs out of a total 3,500.
The plan will affect managerial, administrative and technical staff and will be implemented between December 2009 and June 2010. Trade unions have decided to call for a strike against the decision.
The redundant employees will be transferred to different branches of Dekra, a spokesperson said. Dekra Industrial (formerly Norisko) is part of the German Derka group.
