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.
BSH Hišni aparati, a subsidiary of the German multinational group BSH Home Appliances Group (owned by Bosch), will hire 100 new workers by the end of this year in Nazarje (Savinjska region), in addition to the 160 currently employed. The business expansion in Slovenia is due to Bosch expansion plan which aims at redoubling its global production in ten years. For this purpose, BSH Hišni aparati also signed a contract with two logistics providers to build two distribution centres in their vicinity. Overall the company employs 1,500 people.
