Few people will argue with the assertion that the evolution of workplace technology has brought numerous productivity benefits to companies. The rise of technology, particularly during the last two decades, has transformed the way we work to such an extent that most of us are at a complete loss when our technology is on the blink. Presently a range of new technologies are emerging that allow for the digital monitoring
of individuals. While these technologies can certainly contribute to enhancing productivity and can be vital tools for highlighting pressure points in an organisation’s process flow however it can undermine effective leadership ouputs.
