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.
Airline company Jet2 has announced that it is to create 100 new jobs at Manchester airport. The company has just opened its new hangar at the airport with the creation of 120 jobs. The new positions will be for approximately 30 ramp agents and 70 baggage loaders and will be filled by Summer 2017. The company has experienced high levels of growth since it started operating out of Manchester in 2004 and over the Summer of 2017 will operate more than 200 flights per week. Jet2 has also recently expanded its operations in the south at Stansted.
