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.
Deloitte, the large international auditing consulting organisation, has announced it plans to recruit 1000 employees in the coming year. The main reasons are the high rotation of personnel that has become common within the company and sector, ie most of the 1000 planned graduate recruits will replace departing staff. Additionally the company continues to grow, and plans to increase its workforce from 4000 to 4300 by 2020. In 2017 the company hired 1026 employees.
