Summary/Abstract: The integration of material production processes with digital technologies creates opportunities for increased labor productivity and higher profits but at the same time it generates new non-standard forms of employment that break the conventional form of the „workplace“. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the increased need for socially responsible behavior of the employers to the employees under the changed conditions. The risks that digitization can cause for the employees in relation to different forms of non-standard employment, working conditions, working time, unclear employment status, and social security are being explored. Various social engagement options of the business are proposed to balance the drive for higher competitiveness and improved working environment. In this respect, the public sector can also support various measures to further ease the process of adaptation to new types and forms of work.
