Why Should You Attend
More than eighty percent of large employers monitor and use surveillance on their employees. From GPS units to counting keystrokes, from basic cameras to retinal scans, employee surveillance is both a big ask from employers and big business for tech companies. With each form of surveillance, however, comes legal ramifications, and the more invasive the approach, the more legal ramifications arise.
Every employer who uses, or is considering using, surveillance tools on their employees must know, understand and comply with the legal standards that attach to each of the forms of surveillance. Failure to grasp and comply with the legal standards attached to each of these modes of surveillance will land the employer in hot water, guaranteed.
