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.
Domino's Pizza said it is creating 600 new jobs this summer, as part of an overall UK & Ireland expansion. The 600 jobs mentioned for Ireland are described as meeting the extra demand the company faces this summer, with the Euro 2016 championships and Rio 2016 Olympics cited. According to the Irish Times Top 1000 database, at the end of 2014, Domino's had 357 employees in Ireland, but that figure is likely to be greater now. Domino's said it is recruiting 10,000 new staff across the UK & Ireland.
