Microsoft has filed a patent for a software that scores and reports employees working habits and behaviors. It can analyze behavioral patterns of employees on a daily basis regarding their working habits and interactions over conferences, telephone, text messages and other forms of digital communication. The range of possible monitored behaviors includes word phrases, body gestures, and mannerisms and will rely upon subjective criteria set by employer regarding what’s acceptable or not.
Examples of behaviors included are cutting off others during conversation, prolonged monologues, nodding one’s head in agreement, shaking one’s head indicating disagreement and hand gestures. Mannerisms may include visual cues such as wearing dark glasses in a video conference, wearing unacceptable clothing to a business meeting.
