Hello Leaders!   Welcome to The Nelson HR  Review! I recently ran across an article about an Employee ID badge that listens to employees' conversations and monitors their every move. Can you believe it?  Anyway, I wanted to share it with you. As always, call me at (877) 356-6175 for any questions or assistance with HR issues. Have a fantastic week!   Vanessa G. Nelson

Employee ID Badge That Monitors and Listens to Employees at Work — Except in the Bathroom

According to the Washington Post, a Boston company has taken technology developed at MIT and turned it into special badges that hang around employees' necks on a lanyard. Each has two microphones doing real-time voice analysis, and each comes with sensors that follow where they are in the office, with motion detectors to record how much they move. The beacons tracking employees' movements are omitted from bathroom locations, to give them some privacy.  (Thanks) It is stated that productivity increased, employees stopped speaking to each other so much, and top line sales grew 11%.  Additionally, it is expected that “within three or four years, every single ID badge is going to have sensors.” What do you think about Employee ID badges that hear employees' conversations and monitors their every movement?
