Description

The panel explores how employers balance individual rights with corporate responsibilities amid diverse legal systems. Local and global surveillance and border control systems are increasingly automated and driven by algorithms, introducing challenges for employees’ privacy and systemic bias. How do multinational organisations manage to preserve workers’ rights and freedoms and at the same time maintain a compliant workplace respecting employee expression, while upholding organisational integrity and legal obligations.
