About the Session
As remote work and digital tools proliferate, organizations across Europe are under scrutiny for how they monitor, manage, and protect employee data. Legal, privacy, and HR teams must navigate the fine line between performance oversight and lawful, ethical surveillance — all while respecting GDPR, labor law, and employee trust.
This roundtable brings together privacy, legal, labor law, and
HR professionals from across the EU to explore:
-
What types of employee monitoring are legally permitted — and ethically acceptable
-
How to align workforce analytics with GDPR, works council, and labor expectations
-
Consent, transparency, data minimization, and purpose limitation in employee tracking
-
Best practices for building policies, responding to complaints, and managing risks
