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.
Horizon Care has announced that it is to create 200 new jobs at its new residential care facility in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The first phase of the multi-million pound care village was officially opened in January 2017. The centre comprises four care units, which each offer room for 20 people, providing residential care for both short and long term stays, and enabling individuals with a range of conditions to live semi-independently. No information is available on timeframe for when these new positions will be filled.
