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.
Turvatiimi, provider of security services, has announced redundancies of up to 150 employees, starting during the last quarter of 2012. The company is opening negotiations with employee representatives on the proposed cuts.
Turvatiimi announced redundancies as it reported a disappointing financial result for the first half of 2012. The company seeks to save 2 million Euros. It cites tightening competition as well as increased fuel prices and labour costs as reasons for the cuts.
