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.
Roadhouse Grill Italia, a restaurant chain controlled by the Cremonini Group, is to hire 300 people by the end of 2015. The new staff will be hired on part-time and full-time contracts.
According to the media source, Roadhouse Grill plans to operate a total of 70 restaurants by the end of the year, with new openings in northern Italy and in Rome, but hirings will also occur in the existing stores. According to the company website, the open positions are for newly-graduates as managers of the outlets. Furthermore, Roadhouse Grill is looking for hostesses, stewards, waiters and kitchen workers.
The company currently operates 66 restaurants in Italy, the last one having opened near Lucca in November with 30 new employees.
