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.
Global supplier of automotive systems, modules and other components ZF TRW (former TRW Automotive) has announced that it will create 150 new jobs at its shared services centre (50 in IT centre and 100 in financial centre) in Częstochowa. The company is looking for IT specialists (programmers, testers, business analysts, project managers, system administrators) as well as financial and accounting specialists. The company has also announced a new investment plan which will bring 200 new jobs to Częstochowa in the coming years.
ZF TRW was acquired by ZF Friedrichshafen AG in 2015. The company has production facilities in more than 20 countries and 22 technical centres worldwide. In Poland, ZF TRW has a shared services centre in Częstochowa and plants in four Polish locations: Częstochowa, Gliwice, Czechowice-Dziedzice (all of these facilities are located in the Katowice Special Economic Zone) and Pruszków near Warsaw. The company has been operating in Częstochowa since 1990 and employs nearly 6,000 people there.
