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.
Yannis Lagos, member of the managing board of Elmec, the domestic importer of Nike, has said he wants Elmec's number of employees to increase from 700 to 850 by June this year, in order to assist the company’s development plans.
"The large increase in personnel is the result of our plans to open a new shopping gallery, at the end of June in the Bucuresti Mall. We'll need 100 staff just to run the gallery. Also, we are hiring people for other outlets we plan to open” says Lagos.
The turnover of Elmec Romania, component of Greek firm Elmec sport increase in 2006 worth 33.9%, accounting for around 20% of the total revenues of the group.
