A recent survey revealed that over 75% of UK employers use surveillance tools to monitor remote workers' productivity. Most common methods include tracking website usage (35%) and monitoring active work hours (54%). Alarmingly, 27% engage in real-time screen checks, while 15% track keystrokes. This growing trend prompts calls for more transparency and employee privacy protections, with many Brits unaware of the lack of specific legal regulations governing surveillance practices. Privacy advocate Lauren Hendry Parsons emphasized the urgent need for a balance between productivity and privacy respect in the workplace.
