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.
Darlington based health care provider HC One has announced plans to create 130 jobs in its support office. The decision follows the news that HC One will take over the running of 122 care homes from rival provider BUPA. It is being reported that the jobs will be at a range of levels within the business, though the exact functions which will be fulfilled has not been disclosed. There is no information about when the jobs will be filled, though the recruitment process is already underway.
