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.
Cleaning and security firm Churchill Services has announced that it plans to create 200 jobs in the North East in 2012. The company recently won a contract to clean the Queen's Street Shopping Centre in Darlington, and it has tendered for three or four other contracts in the region.
Most of the new roles will be cleaning jobs, but there will also be security posts created.
