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.

Toyota, the automobile manufacturer, is hiring 500 permanent workers in 2025 at its Onnaing (North) site. In addition, 100 temporary workers are recruited each month to support production. Despite challenges in the automotive market, the company remains active, with the SUV Yaris model now representing the majority of its production and experiencing continued growth. The recruitment process involves three stages: an initial meeting, skill assessments, and a final interview.
