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.
The Travelodge hotel chain has announced that it is to create 650 new positions in hotels across the UK and in the company's head office in Thame, Oxfordshire. New hotels are due to open in London (Belvedere, Finsbury Park and Finchley), Stockport, Sale, Andover and Peterhead with roles available at all levels of the company including in management positions. No exact information is available for when these jobs are expected to be filled, though the media report suggests that they will be filled soon, as recruitment will take place over the summer.
