Employee Monitoring Policies

Employee monitoring policies outline how and why a company observes its employees' work activities. These policies specify the tools used for monitoring, such as computer software or cameras, and the types of data collected, like emails or internet usage. The goal is to ensure productivity, security, and compliance with company standards while respecting privacy. Employees are typically informed about monitoring practices through handbooks or agreements to foster transparency and trust. Effective policies balance the company’s needs with employees’ rights, promoting a healthy workplace environment.
