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.
French wine and spirits group Pernod Ricard is to cut 165 jobs in France. According to the sources, the job reduction measure is to affect mainly administrative financial, HR and R&D jobs at the firm’s headquarters in Creteil. As mentioned, the plan is in the framework of a worldwide reorganisation affecting 900 jobs as part of its "Allegro" restructuring plan.
As reported, the company has started negotiations on a social plan with the unions that could change the number of job cuts.
