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.
Polish construction company Budimex has announced that it will create 1,100 new jobs by the end of 2019 across Poland. Budimex is looking for experts in over 50 different fields, including construction managers, railway engineers, construction engineers and foremen. The company has introduced a new recruitment system, which offers financial rewards up to PLN 2,000 (€462) for effective indication of employees for the positions sought.
As of October 2018, Budimex employs over 7,000 people across the country. Previous restructurings took place in 2017 (1000 jobs created) and 2015 (800 jobs created).
