Bloomberg:
The Boston Consulting Group has outfitted about 100 volunteer employees in its new Manhattan office with badges that embed a microphone and a location sensor. Made by Humanyze in Boston, the badges track physical and verbal interactions. BCG says it intends to use the data to see how office design affects employee communication. Outside critics have called the plan Orwellian and despotic—“It is a little bit invasive,” says Ross Love, 57, a BCG managing partner who volunteered—but the data collected is anonymized, and the company has pledged not to use it for performance evaluation.
Sure, you say that now. But once those badges are in place, once they become the new normal, all bets are off.
Charming. Another potential crutch for businesses that are institutionally unable to determine whether work is actually getting done. HR professionals will love this new way to track behavior without regard to merit.
Awful
There’s a limit that I would accept when deciding to work for a place, and this is way beyond that line.
Yeah this ABSOLUTELY WILL be used for performance evals.
I like to stand instead of seating at my desk but my company won’t buy standing desks. So does this new tech differentiate between standing and leaving the desk?
