    Case study
    (Conflicts over privacy in workplace)

    1. Companies should have the right to track employees through company


    smartphones and monitor their personal Facebook and Twitter accounts.
    Companies monitor their employees to ensure that no harm is being
    done within the workplace. A professional business wants to be viewed
    exactly that way; professional. If an employee makes statements that
    are malicious or harmful to the employer’s business reputation, this
    could potentially lead that employee down a very difficult path due to
    the social media privacy laws put into place. Companies are not allowed
    to request or demand personal account login information from
    employees. The only reason an employer should have access to an
    account is if, and only if, a potentially legal issue within their policy
    reaches the surface and needs direct attention.
    When a company monitors an employee’s social media accounts like
    Facebook and Twitter, they are not only protecting themselves, but their
    employees as well. It is important to be aware of what your employees
    are posting on the Internet because posts can travel so fast via the web
    that it could potentially promote or destroy a company within minutes.
    2. Employees should be able to maintain their personal privacy and
    not be tracked through their company smartphone or their
    Facebook and Twitter accounts.
    On the other hand, employees argue that they have a right to not track
    their personal privacy. Employers have to be careful about what
    information is found on an employee’s social media account. Employees
    have the right to keep private facts about themselves confidential and the right to
    some degree of personal space. In that case, company’s employers must be trust
    their employees. But all employees have "reasonable expectation of privacy"
    when they use employers equipment. Basic workplace right extend to every
    employee, and these include rights to freedom form discrimination, fair
    compensation and privacy. Employees have right to privacy in workplace applies
    to workers personal items, as well as storage lockers and private email accessible
    only by employees. Employee’s personal lives are their right and when they
    disturbed, it creates conflicts in workplace and employee’s interest as well.
    For resolve that problem, company’s employers should be used of cameras in
    every department of an organization rather than track the personal privacy of
    employees. Employers must be trust their employees because trust is the key of
    success of an organization.
