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.
Polish cosmetics company Dr Irena Eris has announced that it will create 100 new jobs at its production facility in Piaseczno near Warszawa. Currently, the company is expanding the plant, which will lead to a capacity rise from 30 million to 60 million units per year. Dr Irena Eris plans to invest PLN 45 million (EUR 10.73 million USD 12.09 million) in the project, and the new production hall is expected to be operational in late 2017.
Dr Irena Eris was founded in 1983; currently, the company is one of Poland’s largest cosmetics producers employing 400 people. The company’s products are sold in 60 countries worldwide.
