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.
Polish ice-cream producer Grycan has announced that it will create between 100 and 200 new jobs at its units across Poland by the end of 2016. The restructuring programme is associated with the investments in production lines, the launch of a new warehouse and office complex and the opening of new ice-cream parlours.
Grycan has been operating as a family-owned business since 2004. Currently, the parlour network of Grycan comprises over 140 units, including 22 located abroad, and employs over 1,600 across the country.
