/The Pandemic has changed work practices with an unprecedented rise in 
homeworking. These practices look set to persist post-Pandemic, as 
demands for flexible and homeworking rise. This trend has increased 
technology-enabled monitoring levels for many workers, leading to 
questions about the implications for their working practices, 
datafication, privacy and wellbeing./

/This project will explore how homeworkers’ experience 
technology-enabled workplace monitoring and the data that employers 
gather for this purpose. The interface between workplace monitoring and 
working practices will be investigated, to understand the positive and 
negative consequences for trust within the workplace, homeworkers’ 
wellbeing, privacy and vulnerability. Workers in different roles, 
sectors and at different levels of seniority will be studied. As well as 
contributing theoretically, the project will provide policy and practice 
implications on appropriate technology-enabled workplace monitoring and 
the protection of workers’ information rights./
