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.
Compañía Española de Petróleos, specialized in the extraction of crude petroleum, is negotiating a collective dismissal resulting in a maximum of 250 job cuts.
Dismissals will be implemented on a voluntary basis, affecting the staff located in Madrid and the staff located at the three Spanish refineries located at Cadiz, Tenerife and Huelva.
The management justifies the measure with the need to adapt to the company’s organisational challenges.
Compañía Española de Petróleos is a parent firm of the Spanish Cepsa group.
