What are the benefits of employee monitoring? What are the downside consequences?

Workplace Spying

Investment banking company Goldman Sachs flags employee e-mails that contain inappropriate “swear” words. Bank of America’s call centers track employee movements. Other companies check their employees’ browser histories, log their keystrokes for productivity checks, and pinpoint their locations. In fact, Boston-based Sociometric Solutions provides companies with employee ID badges fitted with microphones, location sensors, and accelerometers (to track the motions of employees). How is it that employers can track employees in this way? Moreover, what are the consequences of employee monitoring?

In general, it is legal for a company to monitor the usage of its own property, including equipment, computers, laptops, and cellphones. Only two states, Connecticut and Delaware, require employers to notify employees that their e-mail is being monitored. Professional lawyers suggest a clear and reasonable monitoring policy that is linked to a firm’s mission and goals. However, regardless of the legality, many feel that workplace monitoring has gone too far.

Some say that this is the case at United Parcel Service (UPS). The company claims to save millions of dollars each year by using a computer analysis program that guides drivers to avoid time-and-fuel wasting left turns and even steers them to drive past a stop and come back later if it is more efficient. The “telematics” tracking system involves putting sensors on the trucks that report everything from an open door to a buckled (or unbuckled) seatbelt. With over 200 sensors on each delivery truck, the data is fed in real time to a supervisor. At the end of each day, the data are sent to a central data center where computers crunch the data. However, reports abound of stressed UPS drivers being called to account for their every movement.

UPS drivers allege “metrics-based harassment,” including supervisors posting printouts of drivers’ data every day to keep the pressure on for better efficiency. The drivers also note potential safety hazards from such monitoring, such as when workers use tricks to keep up—like sitting on top of already-fastened seat belts to save time. Inevitably, drivers end up over their allotted times by at least an hour or two due to traffic or other holdups. The real concern for UPS safety, however, may be the handful of trainees who come in as much as two hours under. As one UPS supervisor stated in an interview with Harpers Magazine, “…there’s no way drivers could be beating their time quotes by that much without sprinting the entire day and recklessly cutting corners on safety.” She pointed to the telematics as the source of the pressure, “It’s like when they ship animals. But this is a mental whip.”

Questions for Discussion

1. What are the benefits of employee monitoring? What are the downside consequences?
2. Do you consider any of the company practices reported in this case to be ethically questionable? Which ones and why?
3. What is the correct balance of monitoring of, and discretion for, employees? When does workplace spying cross the line?
4. Should companies place this much stress on their employees?
5. Is this an example of dehumanizing employees?
6. Do you think workplace monitoring can be an effective part of an employee engagement program?

Analyze how the interests and values of all stakeholders may compromise for a greater good

In an 10 to 12-page double-spaced paper, (including title and reference pages, and APA formatted) provide a set of recommendations that would position the Park ecosystem for the long run. You will argue for a course of action grounded in citizenship principles; that is, solving the problem/opportunity from a big picture standpoint. You will pay special attention to the following:

Analyze how issues have evolved and how to address them, 6

·  Analyze how the interests and values of all stakeholders may compromise for a greater good,

·  Argue for a course of action that takes into consideration the particular environment of the Park

and evaluate its impact on the overall ecosystem’s future. The course of action may recommend a new forest practices model, manage the hydrological impacts, expand protected zones, etc…

Your paper should include three major sections.

1. Introduction: introduce the problem opportunity to your readers and your suggested course of action.

2. Analysis and suggestions: this is where you show your skill and ability to solve problems and capitalize on opportunities. You will take a global citizen approach to analyze the situation and make recommendations for the Park’s ecosystem. You are to argue for your solution from a global citizenship standpoint by addressing the details of the situation identified in the case study. You should emphasize the three areas identified in the instructions by the above bullet points.

3. Conclusion: conclude your paper by summarizing the problem/opportunity and your recommendations and tell your readers, briefly, how and why your solution would address the Park’s needs.

Sample of how it should be done

1. Case Name Texas v. Johnson

2. Case Citation 109 S.Ct. 2533, 491 U.S. 397, 105 L.Ed. 2d 342, 57 USLW 4770

3. Exact date decided June 21, 1989

4. Judge or Justice writing majority opinion Brennan

5. Procedural facts Defendant was convicted in County Criminal Court 8 in Dallas County, Texas of desecration of venerated object and he appealed. The 5 th Court of Appeals in Dallas affirmed the conviction. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed and remanded. The Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the decision of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. (This would consist of two or three sentences outlining the history of the courts the case has been through and how each of those courts handled the case and what they did with the case.)

6. Facts of the case pertinent to the issue(s) in the case. During the Republican National Convention held in Dallas in 1984, Johnson participated in a demonstration against the Reagan administration and its policies. After a march through city streets, Johnson burned an American flag while others chanted. No one was injured or threatened with injury though several witnesses were offended by the flag burning.

7. Issue(s) Was flag burning a form of expressive speech protected by the First Amendment? Did the statute meet the goal of preventing breaches of the peace? Was the Texas statute unconstitutional because it violated free speech protected by the First Amendment? (Put the issue(s) in the form of question(s).(Many cases have more than one.)

8 . Court’s Decision – Johnson’s conduct constituted expressive, overtly political comment. Johnson’s conduct did not involve “fighting words” nor did it invite an “imminent lawless action” that would be found in a traditional breach of the peace. Johnson’s conviction for flag desecration is inconsistent with the First Amendment. (How did the court answer the issue questions – this should be more than one word answers.)

9. Court’s Reasoning – Texas did not assert any interest in preventing Johnson’s conduct other than suppression of expression. Therefore the case of United States v. O’Brien did not apply. Speech cannot be prevented simply because others are offended by said speech. Texas’ interest in preserving the flag as a symbol does not justify Johnson’s conviction. The statutory restriction on Johnson’s political expression is content based since the Texas statute is not based on protecting flags under all circumstances but is designed to prohibit intentional and knowing abuse that causes offense to others. Because the restriction is content based it is subject to “the most exacting scrutiny.” The government may not prohibit the expression of an idea just because people do not like it even when the flag is involved. Texas Penal Code Ann. §42.09 (1989) specifically refers to offending one or more persons as did the evidence presented at trial. It is apparent from the foregoing that the statute was not content neutral but aimed at not preventing only a certain physical action but a physical action with a specific message . (What rationale did the court use for making its decision? What cases did the court refer to and what did those cases say? Did the court refer to statutes or Constitutional principles, if so what were they and what did they say?)

10. Disposition – Affirmed. Justice Kennedy concurred and filed an opinion. Chief Justice Rehnquist dissented and filed an opinion in which Justice White and Justice O’Connor joined. Justice Stevens dissented and filed an opinion. (Reversed, Reversed and Remanded, Affirmed are the three choices)

11. Dissent – Rehnquist – Long detailed historical lecture on place of flag in history. Argued that Johnson’s flag burning was designed to incite disturbance of peace. Stevens – Makes an argument similar to Rehnquist that the flag occupies a unique place in American culture. (Were there dissenting opinions? If so briefly state the author(s) of the dissenting opinions and why they dissented.)
