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.
Disneyland Paris, a holiday and amusement resort at Marne-la-Vallée near Paris, has announced plans to create 1,000 permanent positions. These are part of a total 8,000 new recruitments of which most are based on short-term employment contracts (2-6 months).
The jobs are created in the context of business expansion and the opening of new attractions.
The company employs 15,000 staff, of which 13,350 (89%) on a permanent basis. The ERM reported on job creation at the park previously in 2007 and in 2012.
