This study, part of an ongoing series of reports on the Surveillance and Digital Control at Work, examine the way in which expansive information gathering in the workplace turns employees into suspects. As the report points out, employee surveillance fosters mistrust, may be disproportionate, and comes with potential problems like false positives and inaccuracies.</p>
