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.
Hull College Group has announced plans to cut 231 full-time equivalent jobs from its sites in Goole, Hull and Harrogate. The education provider has also said that it may look to outsource some of its services. The restructuring will take up to five years as it involves reshaping the curriculum so it remains relevant to those wishing to study at the colleges. The employer has said that it will look at possibilities of redeployment and will support affected staff with counselling and interview training options.
