Since Covid employee monitoring software has been on the rise a lot of companies are now implementing this sort of spying software to keep track of their employees productivity including how long do online for websites to visit also programs are using for how long now I guess the question is is the source software fair for tracking productivity or our company sort of crossing the line into privacy concerns where now employs Nolan have privacy and because of the new remote work culture that they will never have the trust of the corporations to do what they are meant to do let me know you got a thing I think it's personally not a good thing but I can see why companies are worried about their bottom line and making sure people are productive I just don't think that's the best way to go about it
Yeah exactly that is very much like the manager looking over the shoulder other employees make sure they're acting right or whatever but it's incredibly invasive and I don't think people should be putting up with it but it seems like a lot off because I have no other option
I think spying on employees in that way is definitely a massive breach of both trust and privacy and I don't think you should be allowed to be fair. But I see that employers want to monitor it to some extent as well.
I totally agree it's a breach of privacy and trust really if you can't trust your employees then I think it's actually a bigger problem there that you should be investigating but you know large corporations for that they've got no other way of keeping track of positivity apart from this so that's pretty what I thinking
If I'm honest I do think it's fair do you know the alternative is that you'd be in the office and the company would be very much aware of your activities if they're trusting you to work from home I think and you'll be getting paid they need to make sure you're doing the work
What is I understand the thinking behind it it's just a lack of trust in a lack of privacy when realistically you just need an accountability culture and outcome base reviews to see whether people doing the work or not everything requires any form of surveillance
I think that it's kind of crossing the line of privacy. My thought is if you hire someone to do a job and they're proficient to do it, allow them to do their job, don't spend human resource on trying to look at the data to see what they're doing.
Yeah great if there was not gonna do the job they're not gonna do it regardless of it being spied on or not so I think it's a waste of a resource as you mentioned and tiger people find the bad ones and if you trust me
So companies have the right to protect their proprietary information, their hardware, their software. So I wouldn't say it's necessarily spying, it's more like checking on productivity and making sure you're doing what you're supposed to do, but not all companies do it.
They absolutely do and I don't wanna deny them the opportunity and the freedom to do so but I also think that freedom comes at a cost of PR people might not wanna work for companies like that and they will definitely a hit
I think fair within reason and I think it makes a massive difference if we're talking company issued versus personal use in equipment. If it's personal use, absolutely not unless it's just company software.
I mean yeah there are some levels to it where if you like time tracker require some form of internal tracking done by employees then maybe so but I think tracking screens and time on screen is perhaps a little too far
Yeah, I mean, I think a good line to draw is just basically digitizing stamping cards, like time cards, that you just, you check in, you check out, and you check off if you've You've got specific tasks you've got to perform.
In all, as long as we're not talking about illegal inappropriate behaviour, things like that, I mean, keep measuring people's own results and actually hitting targets and KPIs. Whatever they do otherwise, what's the problem?
Employee monitoring has been going so crazy specially for those who had to start working remote at homes companies don't have any regulation and it's basically violation of
