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.
Coffee shop chain Harris + Hoole intends to double in size in 2014, taking on 500 new staff.
The approach to expansion has been described as opportunistic – the company says that it will take on new sites as they emerge rather than identifying in advance a specific number of sites it plans to open over the next 12 months.
Harris + Hoole said new shops would be split between concessions inside supermarkets operated by Tesco, which owns half of the coffee shop chain, and standalone high street outlets.
