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.
The management of the software company Hardis group has announced its plans to recruit 400 employees in 2018. The new posts are to be created in Bordeaux, Grenoble, Paris, Lille, Lyon and Nantes. The company seeks professionals with various expertise, including development engineers, programmers, program architects, business analysts and program managers. The company increased its workforce from 850 to 1,000 employees in 2017. The HR manager highlights the low level of the staff turn-over rate (6%) in comparison to the sector. A former recruitment announcement of 120 employees was recorded in the ERM Database in 2012 when the company employed 620 people.
