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.
The furniture and decoration retailer Alinéa (group Mulliez) announced the opening of a new logistic platform at Nanteuil-le-Haudouin (Oise). 200 jobs are expected in high season, including temporary workers. It can be estimated that recruitment will start in August 2018. With a surface area of 72,000 sqm, the building should allow the company's trucks to reduce travel by a million kilometres (20% less than currently, or 1000 tons less of CO2) to reach its 30 stores. The site is due to open in September 2018.
