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.
On 27 August 2012 the management of the Egészségügyi Holding announced the dismissal of 541 employees in the county's four hospitals. Medical personal will not be dismissed; the cuts will affect the employees of the hospitals' back office services such as controlling, IT, nourishing.
The company, having experienced serious liquidity problems, has announced an internal restructuring and rationalisation project.
The local labour authority has already been notified about the plans and negotiations with the social partners have started.
