Available for over a year
Employers snooping on their staff is an increasing feature of the workplace. Our emails, phone calls and even our movements around the building can be monitored and tracked, giving our boss more information than ever before about how we behave at work. We look at the reasons for the trend. And ask, is it a good thing? We hear from Emma Carr, acting director of the campaign group Big Brother Watch, and Mike Emmott, adviser on employee relations at the UK's Chartered Institute of Personnel Development. And Lucy Kellaway reflects on the impact on our day to day lives at work. And from Iraq, Jim Muir gives us the latest developments from the turmoil there.
