Workplace Monitoring

Workplace monitoring refers to the practice of employers observing and tracking employee activities during work hours. This can include using software to monitor computer usage, reviewing emails, tracking attendance, or even video surveillance. The primary goal is to ensure productivity, maintain security, and protect company resources. While monitoring can help improve performance and accountability, it also raises concerns about privacy and trust. Companies must balance the need for oversight with respect for employee rights, often having policies in place to inform staff about what monitoring occurs and why it is necessary.
