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 1 March 2012, Swiss-headquartered human resource group Adecco, has announced to its employee's representatives to cut 530 jobs due to the merger of its two brands Adecco and Adia under the umbrella of Adecco.
The management aims to avoid redundancies and will use internal mobility, voluntary departures and skill management. According to a press officer of Adecco, the group expects to finish the information and consultation process by September.
