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.
As announced in December 2012, Swiss bank Credit Suisse will cut 150 jobs in Germany. This is reported to be due to an organizational reorientation.
In total, Credit Suisse employs 500 people in Germany at 12 branches. The branches in Bielefeld (North Rhine-Westphalia), Braunschweig (Lower Saxony) and either Cologne or Dusseldorf (North Rhine-Westphalia) will be closed. Credit Suisse aims to focus its business on wealth management for affluent customers.
