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.
Podravka, the Croatian food processing company, has recently started negotiations with trade unions regarding changes and amendments to the collective agreement. As part of the mentioned negotiations, a resolution has been passed on hiring 110 young employees on a full-time permanent basis.
Most of the new contracts were signed with the workers in the production department, but also with employees in other parts of the company, such as logistics, sales, business programs and corporate functions.
