Rockwell Automation is a co-presenting sponsor of Mandela: The Official Exhibition, which runs April 23 through August 1 at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Milwaukee is the first city in the United States to host this exhibit, which is being presented in partnership with America’s Black Holocaust Museum.

By contrast, 46 percent of Gen Xers and 45 percent of baby boomers said they could cover a $1,000 emergency.

Employers are using keystrokes, webcam photos, and screen capture to monitor remote workers’ productivity but can they do it in a rights-respecting way?
The monitoring of employees by employers is not a new phenomenon, but it seems to be entering a distinctly new phase.
Today, it is increasingly common practice for large companies to implement employee monitoring, whether to increase productivity in warehouse distribution roles, maintain quality control in manufacturing, or bill accurately at consulting firms.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen the sudden move of many millions of workers around the world to home-working and this has accelerated the use of tools designed to monitor workers in new and even more invasive ways that respond to the unique conditions of a pandemic.
