Privacy, surveillance and monitoring in the workplace

Workplace technology is evolving rapidly, particularly with the growing use of artificial intelligence. From email and internet monitoring to GPS tracking, CCTV and other surveillance tools, employers now have unprecedented access to information about employee activity.

However, greater visibility can also create greater legal risk. Employers must navigate a complex framework of privacy and workplace surveillance laws that can differ across Australia.

Join Peter Petropoulos from Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors (ABLA) for a practical discussion about monitoring employees while respecting privacy and meeting your legal obligations.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

• the types of monitoring and surveillance employers may use
• what employers can and cannot do when monitoring employees
• privacy and workplace surveillance laws across Australia
• notification, consent and policy requirements
• balancing legitimate business interests with employee privacy.
