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.
Catering and outsourcing firm Mount Charles Group has announced that it has acquired a cleaning services business. The company announced that the purchase would result in it taking on 150 new staff.
Having successfully provided cleaning as an extra for the catering clients, the company recognised the market potential and has started to bid for stand-alone cleaning contracts.
