Employment trends expert weighs in<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"The European Court of Human Rights just overturned a previous ruling which had given employers unfettered access to their employees\u2019 emails and workplace communications. The decision is once again sparking discussion about American privacy laws and the ways in which employers are able to freely access all of an employee\u2019s communications.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrivacy is considered to be of great importance in Europe,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment trends expert. \u201cHence, there was a great outcry when the court originally decided to green-light the law which would allow employers free rein to read their employees\u2019 emails and messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson says that the overturning of the law has reignited workplace privacy discussions in the States. \u201cThis is an issue that is of growing concern as many employers are now using apps to track their remote employees\u2019 productivity. For example, apps that take screenshots of an employee\u2019s computer or apps that track what sites an employee visits and how long they stay there. As we enter this new world of a largely remote workforce, issues of privacy are going to be of growing concern.\u201d<\/p>\n

For now, Wilson says that employers should cover all their bases by making sure to alert employees that any and all workplace communication is not considered private. \u201cYour employees should be fairly warned that any messages they send on company property are able to be accessed and viewed by you. Privacy isn\u2019t a right afforded to employees who are using their work computers to hang out on Facebook or write personal messages to coworkers.\u201d<\/p>\n
