They're planning on tracking workers within their buildings.
>WeWork's latest acquisition is a small software company with 24 employees. Euclid is a spatial analytics platform...Euclid's website says the company is "focused on redefining the workplace experience of the future." Translation: optimizing every aspect of the physical workplace so workers are their most productive. Euclid does this by tracking how people move around physical spaces. Its technology can track how many people showed up to a meeting or to that after-work happy hour. The company can see where employees tend to congregate and for how long. It's all done over Wi-Fi.

I don't think this kind of tracking will have any positive impact on employee productivity, and it could have the opposite effect of being demoralizing. Unfortunately, I'm sure there's lots of unethical companies that would love to have this kind of data on their workers.
- mrosett 7y agoThe kind of company that gets upside from spying on its workers isn't the kind of company that rents a trendy office space with free beer.
