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.
Finnish municipal public social and health services federation Carea has finalized employer-employee negotiations leading to the reduction of 106 employees, of which 57 will be through direct dismissals by the end of the year. The remaining 49 positions will be reduced through other measures, such as early retirement.
The restructuring is part of a larger savings program to make the company more efficient. Carea employs a total of 2,500 people in Finland.
