    DescriptionAs remote work continues to grow, so does the rise of employee monitoring and tracking tools. But where do we draw the line between productivity and privacy? In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Kirstie Ball from the University of St. Andrews, who has carried out extensive research on workplace monitoring. We explore her recent survey, surprising findings, and whether employers are truly justified in tracking their staff. We also discuss: The impact of workplace culture on monitoring practices The ICO’s guidance on fairness, transparency, and DPIAs Employment law insights from ACAS The growing role of AI in recruitment and employee monitoring This thought-provoking conversation looks at the balance between data protection, employee rights, and organisational needs in today’s evolving workplace
