The rise of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the increasing use of employee monitoring applications (EMAs) by employers. These programs track comprehensive digital activities such as keystrokes, emails, and website visits, often operating in the background without employees' knowledge. A survey of managers across Canada showed that EMAs are increasingly being adopted to ensure productivity and security in a remote environment, leading to rising privacy concerns among workers. The importance of transparent monitoring practices is emphasized amidst these developments.
