Most remote workers may not have as much privacy as they might think while doing their jobs from home.
At the start of the pandemic, when virtually all white-collar professionals were sent home from corporate offices, many employers — leery of workers’ self-discipline — invested in monitoring software to track their every move, lest they engage in personal activities while on the clock.
Three years later, employee tracking via tools like video feeds and keystroke monitoring software are in fact the norm, according to a new survey of 1,000 companies with remote or hybrid workforces.
The most intrusive form of employee monitoring is via an always-on, live video feed. More than one-in-three employers (37%) said they require employees to appear on a live video feed when they are not in the office, according to the survey from ResumeBuilder.com, a professional resource site.
