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.
In October 2012, Danish banks Spar Nord and Sparbank merged. Spar Nord announced 150 redundancies.
According to the Financial Services Union in Denmark (Finansforbundet) 90 of these cuts will be implemented through direct dismissals, while the rest will be implemented by natural attrition. After the restructuring Spar Nord will have around 1,500 employees.
