Employees are becoming increasingly anxious as they note their companies are monitoring their work from behind the scenes.It's no secret that many employers use automated or artificial intelligence tools to track where their employees are working, what they're doing and even how productive they are.In a new report from the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, more than two-thirds of 1,300 surveyed employees said they were being surveilled by their employers.
'It's also not a stretch to say this trend is growing,' Driscoll said. 'Companies are increasingly justifying surveillance under the guise of performance management or security. But this is blatant power and control. Employers who rely on monitoring are sending the message they don't trust their employees. If you don't trust your employees, you haven't done a good job hiring.
