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.
Nutrition company Glanbia is to create 200 new jobs in early 2016. Glanbia has a turnover of over €3.5 billion per annum, and is currently present in 34 countries, and the 200 new jobs will be shared around seven of them. The jobs will be in a variety of sectors, including IT, Science and Innovation, Sales and Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain and Executive and General Management
90 of the 200 positions will be based in Glanbia's Headquartered country of Ireland, with the rest spread out around the world. Of the new 90 Irish positions, 50 are new positions entirely. The recruitment drive is timed to be targeted at the Irish diaspora who have returned to Ireland for the Christmas holidays.
