13:10 Data mining in relation to employees online and offline the laughter and tears | |
| If you do not paranoia - it does not mean that yours should not. Blew a recent topic of Google. So far as I know, datamayning towards staff used by firms long and hard, and somehow I unfortunately did not hear about cases that employee data are collected and used to their advantage. Immediately say, that in most cases datamayning somehow legitimized (mainly passages in the employment contract). But these statements are treated extremely well and always in one direction. There are, of course, cases where the company collects data secretly, by involving their own departments to fight corruption or specialized subcontractors and hoped that the search for and use employee data to anyone we know would not. I'll tell you about a few cases, as you please tell me too and comment. The purpose of Topeka - exchange recognized. One of the last noisy cases: the German railways, Deutsche Bahn, was given the assignment of a certain company, a subcontractor specializing in datamayninge, compare data on all employees and their relatives to be entered in the Commercial Court of the State (an organization that registers all without exception of business in Germany). Thus, Deutsche Bahn had hoped to identify cases of corruption. This is how: For example, an employee of the company engaged in the purchase or distribution of parts orders outside companies. Its relative record company receives an order / supplies components (at inflated prices or not - for them irrelevant). And then, allegedly, this method for detecting transmission of orders in the relatives was a certain extent successful. Interestingly, a specialized subcontractor, firm, is collecting and comparing data, working in direct contact with internal departments to fight corruption and got the exact same order at exactly the same work from other giants of the German market: Deutsche Telekom and Lufthansa. Such interaction is given, of course, many advantages in performing the work. In the task was to also learn things like: Do not get the officers of these companies bonus points to personal accounts for workers flights do not exceed a limit of employees of private telephone conversations with the job numbers do not enjoy a working staff bonus cards railroads for private travel. With access to databases of employees and customers of railways, the largest airline and the largest provider of fixed and mobile telephony can make many valid conclusions. But, oddly enough, this method is in terms of German law is illegal, and the main people from the leadership of the railways and telecoms were forced to leave office. Another case: The network of grocery stores collected data on the outputs of the staff at the hospital and diagnosed for employees inquiring about it with passion and pressure. This was done to optimize production, namely the dismissal of employees suspected of more or less serious diseases. (To avoid having to pay long-term sick). This case became known by accident - in bins found by accident is not destroyed handwritten notes of one branch manager, he was obliged! present and comment at a regular conversation with the head region. Another interesting case: the retail chain cheap clothes bought up data on the credit histories of all its employees, ostensibly in order not to engage employees with consumer loans at the box office. In practice, they simply dismissed, so as not to tempt. The same is often practiced by an automated e-mail activity of employees for certain keywords, especially in enterprises that are prepared to enter the stock market or have already traded their shares on it. Explain this preventive protection against information leaks to the media and the protection of the course of its own shares. Recently, one employee of an insurance company was fired for visiting facebook while on sick leave. As it turned out the firm had his character on facebook, which tracks the movement of staff. Curious incident occurred at a large firm, which set up the camera, ostensibly to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, and then lowered the wages to those who captured the video in the smoking room. University of one of the city forced the doctors to disclose medical mystery massively. Were compared to students granted the hospital and missed these students exams. The University has decided that some of the hospital - singed and is going to send them for examination. Detectives working in the stores and looking for buyers, that sausage is not tyrili, commissioned for the optimal loading collection of personal data of employees from their conversations with each other: employers in particular were interested in women's conversations among themselves and made their desire to give birth in a conversation Child. These were fired at once - and that in fact the company is obliged to pay maintenance woman during pregnancy and after childbirth, and in addition keep a young mother working place, to which it must by law be able to return. Leadership certain spa and wellness hotel arranges regular honey. Inspections staff caring for their health. Then, to get access to the data inspection, dismisses those who exceed the ratio of the growth / weight by weight - full staff on the concepts of leadership compromises the hotel. Well, the most fantastic case: A staff member enterprise implanted rfid chips, ostensibly to replace the smart card-Pass. What information do these chips are apart Haydee - is unknown. This news is, incidentally, is the oldest - the implantation of chips occurred in 2006. Ps: almost all these cases became known in 2008-2009 in Germany and Switzerland. | |
