I understand the importance of monitoring workers to ascertain there level of productivity, and to improve workers attendance and also enhance Cyber security but then, the inability of most management to go about this ethically has been of great concern to me.
What's your view about this?
I don't see anything wrong with management trying to maximize their productivity of their worker by installing CCTV on the work area and not on the rest rooms. Going about it ethically is by getting employees informed about it or by not installing it in secret places but places where you don't need to be told about it while you are in work areas. I don't support workers being wasteful during work hours or using work time for personal gains and business. There are some workers who will sleep all through work hours or take such time to secretly go away from work to probably visit their wives
and yet they want to be paid at the end of the month. Therefore, installation of CCTV to monitor workers is more creative and meant to get workers to utilize work hours for the work that they are paid for. Moreover, it also help to check insecurities around the company.I don't see anything wrong with CCTVs; nowadays, almost everywhere you go, there is one. Even in other homes, there are also personal CCTVs. Now, in companies or any form of business,
it's fine as long as it's not to the point where it shouldn't be monitored, like, for example, if other employees and anything that goes to the comfort rooms shouldn't be included.
It's just that in situations like this, I think it's a necessity for security, in general matters, I guess, particularly in companies.
