Despite the fact, that employee monitoring is far and wide practiced nowadays, the matter raises moral dilemmas. Employee monitoring interrupts basic confidentiality rights at the same time as proponents disagree that employee monitoring is an complete violation of privacy rights. There is always an opportunity of mistreatment including work discernment and possibility of selling to interested third parties individual profiles with members of staff monitoring systems in position. Employee monitoring reports are quantitative footed, which means the fact that they are not being unprejudiced when it comes to effort performance assessment.
Even supposing that opponents disagree that companies can be held in officially legally responsible way if their workers create circumstances for hostile work settings by using telecommunication systems for own need, the question can be determined simply by introducing independent personal usage guiding principles. That’s why it is highly important for both employers and employees to know, understand and use in proper ways their rights and also remember about their responsibilities. It is the only way the optimal settings for work can be created in any company.
Employee monitoring wears down the significance of employee self-respect leading to supplementary pressure and stress and creating an unwelcoming working environment, that is unacceptable both ethically and legally. The tendency is also encouraged by the ongoing officially authorized acts, as new laws that limit supervising options for a manager are introduced. Employee privacy privileges are desecrated; unless remedial legal measures are taken which limit relevance of monitoring structures by employers, given fast rate of technological modernization, the cost in the closest future can be dramatic.
