HR Fundamentals: Privacy and workplace surveillance

Privacy and workplace surveillance are rapidly emerging as key areas of risk – and scrutiny – for employers.

As technology evolves and employee expectations shift, organisations must strike the right balance between effective oversight and respecting privacy rights. Don't wait for a complaint or breach to expose gaps in your approach. This practical webinar is designed for HR professionals, managers and anyone involved in handling employee information or implementing workplace monitoring practices.

We will guide you through the key considerations when managing workplace privacy and surveillance, including:

• understanding the boundaries of lawful workplace surveillance;
• what surveillance can be undertaken for employees working from home or remotely;
• designing transparent, practical and compliant monitoring practices;
• managing the lifecycle of employee data – from collection to storage and access;
• navigating your legal obligations around privacy; and
• responding confidently to employee concerns, complaints or disputes.

Whether you are setting up new systems, reviewing existing practices or simply want to stay ahead of emerging risks, this session will equip you with the insight and practical tools to implement in your organisation while maintaining employee trust.
