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.
German discount supermarket chain Lidl has announced that about 500 new jobs will be created at its warehouses and among 100 newly opened stores across Poland. The Polish branch is also considering employing a large number of seasonal workers during the summer.
Lidl operates in every member state of the European Union, except Latvia and Estonia. In Poland, the company has over 600 stores and 8 distribution centres.
