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.
DTG, publisher of phone books and business directories (Gouden Gids), announced that it will cut 250 out of 802 jobs until the end of 2012.
Reason for restructuring is the structural shift from publishing on paper to greater emphasis on online activities. Some of the cuts will be implemented by forced dismissals. The works council has agreed on a social plan.
