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.
Deufol, a Germany-based multinational provider of packaging and related services, is to create over 100 new jobs with the construction of a modern plant for the production of wooden shipping containers in the industrial zone of the city of Cheb. The production is to start in Spring 2017. The recruitment campaign has already started, there was no problem recruiting workers for the production department but recruitment has slowed down while searching for candidate with skills for other departments.
