75% Informative

Employers have a growing number of ways to keep tabs on workers.

They can gather details from common workplace apps and use monitoring software.

There's no foolproof way to know whether you’re being monitored, experts say.

It also may be a good time to consider locking down your personal communications.

Using your company’s WiFi or virtual private network (VPN) could also leave you exposed.

Don’t trust apps you use for work, including Microsoft Office , Slack, Google Workplace and Zoom .

Use your personal hotspot over company connections for personal activities.

If you’re worried about your child's baby pictures, sensitive medical information, keep them off work devices, if possible.
