Has Covid-19 Increased Worker Surveillance?

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a startling digital acceleration, but how has this impacted power dynamics in the workplace? Professor Antonio Aloisi of IE Law School uses his research to analyze the use of new tools and techniques in worker surveillance.

Professor Aloisi’s research paper, conducted with Valerio De Stefano, entitled “Essential jobs, remote work and digital surveillance. Addressing the Covid-19 pandemic panopticon” is to be published in the International Labour Review, and has been conducted within the framework of the “Boss Ex Machina” project, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 893888.
