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 Bauwerk Boen Group, a manufacturer of parquet floors, has announced that it will create 150 jobs in its new parquet flooring plant in Đurđevac, Croatia. A total of €13 million has been invested in the plant's infrastructure, machinery and rehabilitation of existing buildings. In total, the parquet factory produces 1.1 million square m2 of parquet per year. Thus, the Croatian products are exported all over the world, and plans for the second phase are underway.
