With the current advances in technology, someone can spy on you so quickly and you won't even suspect it. This includes employees at your workplace. In the past, employees may have been a little fearful of getting caught doing so, but due to the nature of the gadgets they have to use, it is easier than ever before.
Today, some gadgets can spy on you, and you won't even imagine that you are being recorded. Take USB flash drive recorders, for instance. These recorders act like normal thumb drives making it almost impossible to imagine that you are being spied on. An employee, especially in an open plan office, can pretend to be using their laptop just close to you, and record everything that you are saying.
They can even excuse themselves, leave it there, and you won't even have the slightest idea that you are being recorded. To better understand how such a device works, check out the Spy Center blog on the best-hidden recorders of 2019. You will be amazed by how advanced spying technology is in 2019.
So how do you protect yourself from rogue employees who might be thinking of spying on you? Well, there are several measures that can help you stay a step ahead of them. For starters, you need to understand the potential reasons why they could be spying on you. One of the biggest potential reasons for spying on you is that they could be working with your competitors to steal your business ideas.
To make it harder for them, discuss confidential information regarding the company's future moves outside the office. You can call up meetings with your board members at hotels and conference facilities. This may set you back a few bucks, but it's worth it, especially if the moves you are about to make have the potential to disrupt the market.
Secondly, you can lay down tough rules and regulations in case one is caught spying. For instance, if your business is primarily based on intellectual property, you can have them sign agreements stipulating heavy penalties and possible lawsuits in case one is caught spying. Doing this will not stop them from spying, but it will deter most of them. This method works best if you are a high paying employer. Most employees would not risk losing their jobs and get heavy penalties, just for spying on their employers.
Thirdly, you can counter them with technology. Just like spying technology is getting better, so is the one for countering it. If you feel that there is a good reason for your employees to spy on you, you can choose to invest in gadgets that help you detect any spying devices. For instance, an RF Wireless signal detector can help you identify signals from the tiniest of gadgets meant to spy on you. You can even make your employees aware of such gadgets to deter them from even thinking of spying on you.
In essence, though it is possible for employees to spy on you, this shouldn't deter you from going about your business with ease. Technology cuts both ways, and you can leverage it to your advantage.
