From the supplier: Employee monitoring has become a major issue in human resources management. Different types of monitoring are currently being used by employers, including computer monitoring, video surveillance, investigators, undercover operatives, spying, eavesdropping and wiretapping, and electronic mail and voice mail, and active badge systems. Critics argue that such activities may lead to employer abuses, compromised employee privacy, and weakened occupational health and safety. However, business supporters counter that it is the right of employers to control the work environment and employee productivity, increase their efficiencies and competitiveness, and provide a safe work environment. Both parties are justified in their views and an effort to balance their concerns is needed. Although the law is more supportive of employers, they should also consider that human aspects, which may be undermined by monitoring, are critical to their success.
