Follow these best practices to increase buy-in for employee monitoring. Learn how to create a monitoring strategy that is transparent, fair, and respectful of employee privacy.
Be Transparent About Employee Activity Monitoring
Employees that are not aware that they are being monitored, why they are being monitored, and how they are being monitored are less likely to find the use of employee computer monitoring software acceptable.
CurrentWare’s employee and computer monitoring software solutions can be deployed with an optional stealth mode or configured to periodically notify employees that they are being monitored.
Ensure Confidentiality & Privacy for the Employees Involved
While complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed for all employees involved, the workplace investigation process must be conducted with as much confidentiality as possible for the parties involved.
Any monitoring or data collection should be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as in accordance with the employer’s policies and procedures.
Additionally, it is essential to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information and respect the privacy rights of employees during the investigation
Consult With Legal Counsel
When it comes to workplace privacy, both the employee and the employer have rights that vary based on the jurisdiction of the company, as well as any relevant collective bargaining agreements.
Before monitoring employee computer activity for workplace investigations, be certain to consult with legal counsel to understand what employment laws apply to your organization and what steps you must take to monitor employees lawfully.
At a minimum your legal team will recommend a Workplace Monitoring Policy that outlines what data is collected and how it will be used.
How to Increase Buy-in for Employee Monitoring
Protect Employee Monitoring Data From Misuse
Employee monitoring data can be sensitive. Organizations need to ensure that administrative and technical security measures are in place to prevent data from being misused or leaked to unauthorized parties.
Only Monitor What is Needed
Employee monitoring is unique for every organization, and yours is no exception.
When you monitor your employees the best practice is to only monitor what is needed to meet your organization’s goals.
Rather than monitoring every single action your employees take without a clear reason to do so, you should map your clearly defined goals to the data points you need to collect in order to meet them.
This ensures that the monitoring methods used are as minimally invasive as is needed to meet your goals. You’ll also improve buy-in by clearly demonstrating the intended purpose of the monitoring.
Learn more →Get Informed Consent From Monitored Employees
When implementing an employee monitoring solution, it is best practice to get explicit and informed consent from your employees that they are going to be monitored.
Even if there are no laws that specifically require that you disclose to employees that they are being monitored, it is the best practice to do so anyway.
What constitutes informed consent and lawful data collection varies by jurisdiction. As always, consult with legal counsel prior to monitoring employees to ensure you are compliant with data privacy and security requirements.

When determining how screen recording software will be used with the teams in your organization it is important to understand the potential privacy implications for your employees and what factors (such as state and federal laws) influence your right to monitor employee computers.
