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 products manufacturer Jeyes has announced plans to close its Mold plant in Flintshire resulting in the loss of 117 jobs. Production will be transferred to company facilities in Norfolk.
The company has entered consultation with the affected staff, trade unions and the Councils over the closure. The closure will take place early next year.
