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.
Alice Pizza, an Italian pizza chain in the food retail sector, has announced plans to create 200 new job opportunities as it opens 25 new locations across Italy in 2023, affecting various regions in the country. The expansion will involve the recruitment of pizza chefs, sales associates, and store managers, offering both full-time and part-time positions. The next immediate openings will be in high-traffic locations such as Milan's Garibaldi Station, Rome's Termini Station, and Malpensa Airport.
The restructuring is driven by the company's growth strategy, which began four years ago with the acquisition of a 70% stake by IDeA Taste of Italy, an Italian investment fund.
Alice Pizza is currently a pizza chain with over 190 locations in Italy.
