A significant concern for managers of remote workers is the ability to
engage, manage and monitor performance and productivity – and some
healthcare employers have turned to technologies like tracking
employee keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and on-camera requirements
for employees during work hours.
This has caught the attention of the National Labor Relations Board’s
General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, who recently issued a memorandum
seeking to broaden of the National Labor Relations Act (the “Act”) and limit the electronic surveillance of employees.
“An issue of particular concern to [her] is the potential for
omnipresent surveillance and other algorithmic-management tools to
interfere with the exercise of Section 7 rights by significantly
impairing or negating employees’ ability to engage in protected
activity and keep that activity confidential from their employer,
if they so choose.” Memorandum GC 23-02, “Electronic Monitoring
and Algorithmic Management of Employees Interfering with the
Exercise of Section 7 Rights” (released Oct. 31, 2022).
