Abstract

The role of data and predictive analytics in the U.S. workplace is growing exponentially. Data can be collected on employees’ off-duty behaviors, hobbies, consumer preferences and physical and emotional health and then used to make employment decisions. This chapter examines employers’ new data-based incursions into their employee’s personal lives, the impact of these data analytics programs on the divide between work and non-work spheres and the detrimental effect this technology may have on the financial, legal and health-related well-being of employers and workers.
