Expert opinions taken from the article...
Silkie Carlo, director of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch says:

Edward Houghton, head of research at Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development says:
"Technologies like this may actually cause more harm than good...They can... create mistrust or low levels of trust for employees - employees can feel like they're being watched and not trusted to do their own work effectively."
