Wary Workers believe they’re monitored in the workplace to assure productivity and because employers don’t trust them, finds a Society for Human Resource management survey. HR professionals, however, say employee monitoring assures the integrity of business critical systems and safeguards proprietary information.

The survey did find that 2% of companies use monitoring to “determine whether an employee was applying for a job elsewhere or because management doesn’t trust employees.” (Information Week 1/24/05)
