Employee monitoring tools and the flexi work “catch 22”
With all the freedom that work remote work offers, the increased presence of “bossware” is raising employees’ hackles not only around the concept of whether flexi-hours are really flexi, but also an employee’s right to privacy.

Bullying costs businesses in the UK £-millions every year – it’s a fact!
