Government weighing new rules on workplace monitoring and AI management tools
What’s happening
A GOV.UK consultation (July 8 to September 30, 2026) asked how to ensure fair, transparent use of technology that monitors, manages or makes decisions about workers; options reported include a statutory code of practice or a duty to consult unions or staff representatives before introducing such tools.
What to do
Inventory the monitoring, productivity and AI decision tools you use so you can respond quickly when the government publishes its response.
