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.
Dhul, food manufacturer specialized in desserts, has applied for a redundancy plan affecting 82 employees of its 298 strong workforce. The redundancy plan was approved by the court.
The company blames the measure on the difficulties to reintegrate 194 employees who were previously affected by a temporary dismissal plan. The measure has been agreed on with the unions.
