During the past decade, the typical workplace has witnessed
technological advances that are nothing short of astonishing. The
days of bulky, noisy typewriters are long gone, and most workplaces
now are equipped with sophisticated computers and electronic
hardware and software.
Employees are performing and storing their work electronically
with access to a world of information at their fingertips.
Similarly, employers have access to a wealth of monitoring and
tracking technology to verify employees are performing their
assigned responsibilities and using technology in an appropriate,
lawful manner.
Although contributing to businesses' efficiency, productivity
and overall capabilities, recent technological advances have been
accompanied by a variety of complex legal issues and risks that
present significant concerns for employers. You must, at a minimum,
understand the basics of these issues and develop realistic and
effective strategies and policies to address them or else expose
yourself to liability.
