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.
Peter’s Food Service, the Wales-based food manufacturer, has announced the creation of 110 new jobs. The recruitment has already started and the company has offered some of the new positions to people affected by the closure of furniture manufacture Triumph, in Merthyr Tydfil, which filed for bankruptcy earlier in October 2019.
Peter’s Food Service offers pies and pasties for retail, food service, catering and hospitality industries and currently employs 730 people. A spokesperson for the company has said that the expansion was based on securing several new deals with leading UK brands and retailers.
