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.
Pub chain Parogon Group has announced plans to create 150 new jobs as part of the group's expansion across South Cheshire and Staffordshire. The group is seeking to employ waiting staff, chefs and restaurant managers. There is no information on when the new jobs will start, though the recruitment process is underway and it has been stated that the jobs will be added throughout 2019. The company offers opportunities for progression and has set an aspiration of making the Times list of the top 100 companies to work for.
