How many of us think we are being watched at work? The indications are that workplace surveillance is on the rise. Everything from closed circuit television cameras, key-stroke logging to wearable devices can be used by employers to keep an eye on us as employees and to track our actions and behaviour at work. The use of 鈥減eople analytics" to shape the workforce is a big and growing area of business.

But is this bad for workers and what is being done with the information collected about employees? Join Ed Butler and guests to find out more about how we are all being watched and measured at work - and what's being done with the information.
