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.
Yorkare Homes has announced that it is to create at least 100 new jobs when it opens its care centre in Beverley, East Yorkshire in the autumn of 2017. The purpose built 70 bed facility will provide nursing and residential care, including provision for dementia patients, and will house a range of facilities including a shop, hair salon and pub all on site. Recruitment for staff is reported to be starting in early 2017 and the company will start discussions with would-be residents in the summer of 2017, with an opening date sometime in September 2017 anticipated.
