Employee Surveillance in the Workplace
As remote and hybrid work arrangements become permanent fixtures, employers are increasingly turning to monitoring technologies, from keystroke logging and screen capture to GPS tracking and AI driven productivity analytics, to oversee their workforce. But where is the line between legitimate business oversight and unlawful invasion of privacy?
Attendees will gain a practical framework for advising on employee surveillance programs. Topics will include the current patchwork of federal and state laws governing workplace monitoring, including notice and consent requirements, along with key risk areas involving personal devices, social media, and off-duty conduct. We'll also address special considerations for tracking remote and hybrid employees, and take a look at emerging AI and biometric monitoring tools and the legal questions they raise. Attendees will leave with practical guidance for auditing existing surveillance practices and counseling business clients on implementing compliant, defensible monitoring programs.
