May 09 - Are Robots Our Future Employees? - Local CIPD Branch Investigates
Following a successful keynote speech at the recent CIPD conference, David D’Souza, the CIPD's Head of Engagement, Branches will be returning to Gibraltar on Friday 20 May to meet the CIPD Gibraltar Branch. While here he will be giving a talk “The Future of Technology at Work, Are We All Destined to Become Robots?”
David is a frequent and well respected commentator on progressive HR and business issues and, on this occasion, will be discussing his thoughts on the hugely topical and thought provoking issue of automation, technology and ethics. His talk will cover areas including:

3. The ethics of the connected workplace - quantified self, wearable tech and predicative analytics
4. The consequent challenges for HR as a profession
