My Opinion to Employee Monitoring

Advantages
It keeps things fair
Employee monitoring can keep things fair. It can managing a
workforce comes with its fair share of challenge. For example, it's
difficult to know when employees start working on their tasks and
it’s hard to verify the time they spent on a task. So using time
tracking tools and employee monitoring software can help address
these concerns.
Disadvantage

Potential Trust Breakdowns


When the employees learn that you’ll be using a monitoring tool,
chances are, they’ll feel like you don’t trust them.They’ll feel like all
their prior work counts for nothing and that you need to spy on them
because you still doubt their commitment. This will lead to a toxic
work environment, diminished employee morale and potentially
higher employee turnover.
Question

Is employee monitoring ethical ?


Employee monitoring is as ethical as you make it. If you're
tracking employees without their knowledge, or accessing
their private information through the computer tracker,
you're not really using the software in an ethical way. It
can or cannot be ethical just based on how employers
monitor employees.
