We’re in a world where we are able to track so much more of what we do online.

Some employers can:

• Monitor the books employees download from our LMS.
• Check the use of the online resources in our learning platforms.
• Check the junk folders to see which emails employees deleted while preparing them.
• Monitor the time emails sit in a person’s inbox unread or unactioned.
• Track entry and exit times from the office and office systems.
• Record people’s phone conversations with our customers.
• Look at internet usage, sites visited, duration and links clicked.
• Install keyloggers to see what else people may write on our systems.
• Track employees location via the GPS in their work mobile.
• See what people have purchased to eat from a canteen using a work account.

When does this access to people’s lives begin to feel uncomfortable?
