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.
Laufen CZ, a subsidiary of the Swiss bathroom and ceramics producer, is expanding significantly. The company which annually produces one million toilets in the Czech Republic plans to create 120 new jobs by the end of 2016 at its two Czech plants (Znojmo, BechynÄ›) where nearly 1,000 people are currently working.
This business expansion is mainly associated with overseas markets in the United States, Germany and Russia.
