Partner James Kosa will speak during What’s Left of Privacy? Current trends in the permitted use of biometrics, GPS, computer monitoring, and other emerging technologies. The webinar will be offered by Lancaster House on Thursday, April 10, 2025.

As the use of emerging technologies to monitor both in-office and remote employees continues to increase, so too does the need for workplaces to respect employee privacy. Leading practitioners will answer questions including:

• How have the attitudes of arbitrators evolved when it comes to assessing surveillance measures and evaluation privacy rights of workers?
• What does the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) mean for privacy in the workplace? How can organizations effectively create guardrails to ensure privacy is maintained when integrating AI into their workplace?
• In what circumstances can employers collect biometric data from their employees? What measures should employers put in place to ensure the protection of both employee privacy and the biometric data collected?
• What takeaways can public and private employers glean from the Supreme Court’s decision in the York Region case regarding an employee’s reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace? How can these takeaways be applied to workplace policies?
• Are changes to federal and provincial legislation currently under consideration that will address gaps in the regulation of workplace surveillance?
• What key issues should employers and unions address in policies or collective agreements governing privacy and access to information?
