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.
Romanian pharmaceutical distributor Polisano Distributie, part of the health care group Polisano, is to dismiss between 100 and 200 employees (out of a total of 460). The group has not excluded the possibility of insolvency for its distribution division. After negotiations with the unions, it was decided that the collective redundancy plan is to be implemented in September 2016.
Polisano Distribution has been facing liquidity problems which will require adjustments and cuts of operational costs.
