The issue of monitoring employees working from home is becoming increasingly prevalent. Of course, technological advances are also playing an increasingly important role. After all, it is becoming easier and easier to monitor employees working from home. The following tools are often used:
- Count keystrokes
- Track mouse movement
- Create screen recordings
- and many more
This is also confirmed by an article on a Swiss blog that deals with precisely this topic. What is allowed and what is not (in Switzerland) – you can read about it here: https://www.kfmv.ch/ueber-uns/aktuelles/blog/der-heimliche-blick-ins-homeoffice
Fight it now as an employee!
But how can you defend yourself against such surveillance? A mechanical mouse jiggler is the simplest option, but if screen recordings are made, these are often recognized. The best option is the Status Holder, which conceals the actual user activity. This means that you are always online in teams, but keystrokes and mouse movements are also simulated.
