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.
Hospital Bernhoven in Uden is planning to cut 100-120 full-time jobs, since the company has been having financial troubles and has to cut costs. Job loss will mainly affect supporting services. Downsizing is due to save € 20 million. According to Interim director Hans Feenstra, the Hospital will present a master plan in March and the entire process will take two years. The aim is to plan a new 'financially sustainable business model' for the Bernhoven hospital. No social partners have commented on this announcement yet.
