Monitoring of staff
Employers may have a particular interest in gathering productivity-related data in a time where most of their staff work from home.
It will be important to remember that any monitoring of staff through corporate devices or BYOD devices must be explained by way of a privacy notice. In addition, monitoring must not be applied in situations where employees have an expectation of privacy. If monitoring is carried out, it must be proportionate, lawful and fair.
Where the use of intrusive technologies could clash with these requirements, monitoring may best be ensured by managers’ regular contact with their team members and setting milestone-based tasks.
