The federal justice department has widened its use of heat and motion sensors installed under staff’s desks, raising further concerns from staff and a union that they could eventually be used to monitor office attendance even if their employer swears it won’t.
In a memo to impacted staff, Justice Canada officials said it was launching a new phase of a controversial project started in 2023 to gather data about office space utilization using heat and motion sensors.
The devices are installed under employees’ desks as well as in common workspaces. According to the memo, the sensors provide anonymous data about how a workspace is being used, but not who is using it.

@stephanie
This is such a stupid and bad idea! Surely the justice department would understand justice issues better than this. -

@stephanie When will the "rational thought" detectors be distributed to managers & senior administrators?

@stephanie But the project failed to monitor when these warm bodies go out to lunch, where and how much they spend. This is the data desired, but it will be extrapolated from when and for how long the warm bodies are away from the desk.
But maybe complimentary lavatory monitoring data will suffice.
Measuring real productivity? Never ...
