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.
Retail chain Suomen Lähikauppa in Finland is starting personnel negotiations to cut 230 jobs mainly from its Euromarket hypermarket chain.
The negotiations concern a total of 1,500 people at the company's head office and in the Euromarket chain. According to the company, the streamlining is necessary due to the weakened market situation. The negotiations do not concern the employees of the Siwa and Valintatalo supermarket chains.
