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.
JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated), the US-based global real estate services firm, has confirmed that it had started redundancy consultations as it plans to cut 200 jobs in its offices across the UK.
A statement by the company said the COVID-19 pandemic had exacerbated changes in the real estate sector and JLL was reviewing its operations 'in line with market conditions and client needs'.
JLL invests in industrial, commercial and residential real estate and works with clients across a wide range of industries from banking to manufacturing and technology. The company employs over 2,500 people in its 24 offices in the UK.
