Manager Forgetting How to Manage

I’ll Be Watching…

Monitoring employee productivity is a common practice in many workplaces, aiming to balance ensuring work gets done efficiently and fostering employee trust. However, there are limits to how closely employees should be observed to respect their privacy.

Employees have a right to privacy, even within the office environment. Installing cameras throughout the office, as mentioned in this sign, to oversee employees can be perceived as excessive and invasive. Including a picture on the sign further adds to the discomfort, raising questions about whether such measures are necessary and appropriate. Balancing workplace security with employee privacy is a delicate matter that requires careful consideration and communication.
