Gowling WLG's Neena Gupta returns to Coffee ’n’ Law to discuss the complex topic of employee monitoring.

Neena and host Amy Davies explore what constitutes electronic monitoring in today's workplaces, from key fobs and GPS tracking to keystroke monitoring and workplace cameras. They also discuss employers' obligations to disclose these practices to employees.

The conversation covers audio recordings in the workplace, employee surveys, and AI-powered workplace tools, all areas where Human Resources professionals and employers need to stay informed as workplace laws continue to evolve alongside advances in technology and artificial intelligence.
