Remote Worker Attention
Summary
FRT is being used to monitor remote workers working hours and attendance, assess their level of engagement in work and their productivity, and measure their attention during events such as videoconferencing meetings. FRT can also be used to control access to data and network systems, protecting against inappropriate use, fraud, and security breaches.
Concerns
Sometimes, this is done without their knowledge, which means companies have the potential to gain access to employees’ private details like banking or health information. Workers have little power to control how and when they’re being monitored, especially if they are using work-issued devices.
