Jonathan Meer (Partner-New York, NY) and Wisaal Jahangir (Associate-New York, NY) collaborated on “Employee Privacy in 2026: How to Manage Monitoring, AI Tools, and Legal Risks,” an article appearing in the December 3, 2025, posting of HR.com. The article analyzes the expansion of workplace monitoring, including via artificial intelligence (AI), and the accompanying rise in legal exposure for employers. With state and federal laws proliferating regarding how employee data can be collected, used, and stored, Jonathan and Wisaal argue that it is essential for employers to adopt and implement transparent monitoring policies and strong governance controls to avoid regulatory and reputational risks. “The laws and regulations regarding digital privacy are constantly evolving,” they caution. “Technology’s role in the workplace will continue to grow, and employers must be aware of privacy considerations for their employees.”
