A new study has found that employees do not have much privacy at work. 90% companies spy on workers in some form according to a study from the ePrivacy Institute and the American Management Association. Here are some of the ways workers are being watched according to an article from the Newhouse News Service.
Three-fourths of the companies monitored employees' Web site visits. Almost two-thirds said that monitoring was "ongoing" or "routine."
Just over half said they monitored phone calls. About one in five said they taped calls.
More than half reported using video monitors.
The article says technologies like packet sniffers, key loggers, log files, audio and video monitoring, id checking and location monitoring are used to watch employees.
