Corporate employee surveillance...

(Posted by francois to: random brainsqualls | worst practices )

The American Management Association yesterday released its "2005 ELECTRONIC MONITORING & SURVEILLANCE SURVEY"(here - requires registration, but free). The numbers are awful - "76% monitor web surfing, 36% of employers tracking content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard, and 55% retaining and reviewing email messages". At least "fully 80% inform workers that the company is monitoring content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard".

Ok, I guess that means no individual rights in the workplace.I also wonder what would happen if companies would spend as much time and energy on innovation in the workplace instead - what do you think would happen?
