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.
Construction firm Carillion has announced that it is to create 120 support roles at it site in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The Broad Street West site houses the company's 'Customer Experience Centre' which provides various forms of administrative support for Carillion's worldwide client base. 180 employees already work at the site, and the new additions will bring the total to 300. The decision to expand is based on new work and reorganisation of existing work. It is not known when the new jobs will be filled.
