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.
Low cost airline EasyJet has announced plans to recruit over 1,200 new permanent and fixed-term cabin crew positions as the airline continues its growth. The new employees will follow on-line training and complete their training with three weeks of practise. EasyJet will offer its new cabin crew positions across all of its 27 European bases, around half of these positions will be based in the UK and 100 in France. EasyJet has announced earlier this year that it was opening recruitment for more than 350 pilots.
