With hybrid and remote work, security leaders have implemented ways to track employee productivity. Recent research by 1E analyzed the effect that this kind of monitoring had on employees.
According to research, 79% of companies not already using these tools expected to implement them in the next three years. Though most employees surveyed already work for companies that use productivity surveillance technology, 73% of IT managers revealed they wouldn't be comfortable instructing their staff to deploy it — especially if the company is not being fully transparent. Further, more than a quarter of IT managers indicate an uptick in employees quitting (28%) and difficulty hiring new employees (27%) when these tools are in use.
