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.
On 23 September 2011, Technitoit, a French construction company specialized in renovation, announced to hire 200 new employees within a year. The company has 39 sites throughout France and aims at opening a site in each province. The company had started its business with the renovation of roofs, facades and terraces and has diversified their business expanding to insulation, carpentry and heat pumps.
The manager commented that the company faces difficulties to recruit qualified personnel and has strengthened its recruitment efforts, for example on facebook.
