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.
In September, the railway company Italo - Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori, which operates high-speed trains, will open selection procedures to recruit 300 new workers. The personnel turnover in the company is 3-4%. The professional figures that the company is seeking are both operative and support, such as train managers, board hostesses and stewards, station staff, train drivers and administrative staff.
These new hirings will add up to the over 200 recruitments which have been carried out in the first semester of 2019. Currently, the company employs 1,350 workers in Italy.
