The Cost of Workplace Surveillance
Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law
(2020)
Abstract
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Americans shifted to remote work almost overnight, and stay-at-home-orders forced workers to turn their living rooms, bedrooms and basements into their workspaces. Faced with this new reality, the ensuing economic downturn and the pressure to continue to run teams efficiently, many employers turned to digital monitoring surveillance software to track their employees’ work productivity from home. Professor J.S. Nelson is researching workplace surveillance as the pandemic continues to change where and how people work.
