The International Labour Organization and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission release a new report on algorithmic management practices in regular workplaces

On Friday, 23 February, the International Labour Organisation and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission released a new joint report on algorithmic management practices in regular workplaces.

The report Algorithmic Management practices in regular workplaces: case studies in logistics and healthcare studies the impact of such practices on work organisation, job quality and industrial relations, focussing on the logistics and healthcare sectors in European (France, Italy) and non-European countries (India and South Africa). The report finds that while it can improve productivity and service quality, algorithmic management also presents risks to workers’ surveillance and job quality, particularly if there aren’t robust legal safeguards.
