The pandemic forced millions of people, who previously carried out most or all of their work in the office, to do it at home instead.
And many firms have been using technology once mostly confined to the office to monitor what staff are getting up to.
Cameras can watch people at their desks. Movement sensors can be employed. Keyboard strokes and mouse movements can be recorded.
Bosses can take screenshots of desktops to check staff are working rather than browsing the internet or watching videos.
